You can take a boy out of the country but you can’t take the country out of a boy.

Red City

Though recently I have been drawing mostly, I have also been working in acrylic lately to ease myself back into painting. I am also looking for a subject matter that I can sink my teeth into for a while. Since I have done several paintings of urban scenes that have been well received, I thought I would continue in that vein. Typically landscape painting focuses on more rural scenes probably because people find natural subjects more pleasant and relaxing to look at. I mean who wants to look at the freeway after driving on it all day? But living only blocks from the national Beltway, the subject matter is close at hand for me. And maybe there will be some kind of catharsis in the viewer who will take a new look at their surroundings on their daily commute. Anyway I have always been more of a city boy.
