New water tank painting - Wicker Park - Milwaukee Ave

Wicker Park - Milwaukee Ave., acrylic on canvas, 24x30, 2012

I finished this water tank painting last week. It's part of my cityscape series and can also be viewed on my website here.

What's new about this piece for me is the foliage in the foreground. I think it works well to create some depth and the green and yellow adds some nice contrasts to the reds and browns in the buildings. It's based on a photo I took after going to the Reckless Records in Wicker Park for Record Store Day this past April. Enjoy!
