Interesting use of chiaroscuro in the background with the tree in the foregound along with th long grass contrasting city to rural life. Yet the flight of the bird conveys a feeling of connection between the two.

this is brilliant work, it seems full of symbolism , having read your description i see thegloom of the factories and foreground symbolic of current economic climatesand the bright sky indicativeof a better but fading past

Their "activity" lives on in the ozone layer..This is a very profound painting showing the divide between the Natural and the Industrial world. One beautiful and with good ecology and the other selfish and ill-planned. All this beautifully drawn with excellent color. Gena

when i see this... you are organized. everything has its own place... as well as the buildings are organized and have their layering effect. Nothing touches each other. And you have a little bird... or even a plane in the distance.

Interesting piece MoonWillow.
Impact - striking
Color - varied. the reds and yellows in the background almost looke like a fire.
Character - I like the character shown here
Tree iin foreground and silhouetted building provide good depth of field.
I had a hard time making out a lake in front of the buildings so the reflection seemed odd (that's probably just the odd way that I'm seeing it.
Lovely piece

Very interesting composition with good focal point. Sky area with lots of light is well done. Buildings are very realistic and foreground is well painted. Lots of depth. Well done.

This is a great picture:

The colors are great together, like the way the you have the buildings in the background and the tree is so close.

Great picture and thanks for sharing

Interesting statement here Shawn. This is dark and gloomy, expecially compared to your normal elegant pieces. This is very well done, excellent composition and depth. The orange sky tells of what the factories left behind, the flowers struggling and the water oil slicked. LA personified. Shirley

nice artwork i love the colors you chose and the sky really catches your eye the tree in the front makes the buildings look further back looks like a sunset scene
