Urban Canyon II

A cityscape features a yellow sky slicing down like a bolt of lightning between rows of Manhattan skyscrapers. The tall, thin shape of the painting emphasizes the verticality of the subject. While buildings are depicted with limited detail, intriguing shapes emerge through interplay of light and shadow. Glints of light sparkle where intersections and windows are illuminated. The palette includes tones of black, white, gray, blues, and yellows. Textured gessoed tissue adds depth to the underlying canvas.
