Twenty-four: Downtown Door 2
March 25th, 2011
Grungy brick and splitting plywood make this composition come alive.
Twenty-Three: Garage Rhythm
March 25th, 2011
The austerity of parking garages is delightfully broken up by various bits of dirt and buzzing fluorescent lights.
Twenty-two: Brentwood Sewer
March 25th, 2011
I’ve always been intrigued with secret, subterranean passageways. Sewers aren’t glamorous, but they hold the same intrigue. The rough, mildewy concrete and rusted iron are beautiful in their own right.
Twenty-one: Bellevue Pipe
March 25th, 2011
I lived in and around the Bellevue area close to eight years. Here is a painting pipe from a reservoir on Sawyer Brown Road.

Sixteen: West Park
February 25th, 2011
Another small painting of an office building on West End Avenue. Except this time I think the name is “West Park.” It’s the same building where Outback Steakhouse is.
Fifteen: NaBriCo Building
February 23rd, 2011
Another view of the NaBriCo building on the Cumberland River, with a bonus. If you can spot the mistake I made in the drawing, you’ll win it!
