Small Painting: West End Offices

Small painting of offices on West End Avenue in Nashville, Tennessee

I did this about a month ago, and posted a small in-progress shot of it, and never got around to posting it once it dried. So here it is.

It’s an office building (for some reason I had thought it was a hotel) on West End Avenue in Nashville near Centennial Park. There is an Outback Steakhouse above the parking garage, almost at ground level (it’s on a hill). I love the lines and drama of the architecture. I really think this would work really well as a large canvas since there is so much going on in terms of the lines, perspective, and the areas of light and dark and reflections in the windows.

This is the last thing I painted, so yeah, I really need to get back into the studio. However, my freelance design work is starting to pick up, so I’m really thankful for that.

Anyway, let me know what you think! I’ve got a lot of other paintings planned out, but it will be a couple of weeks before I can get to them. Maybe I need to just go rent a cabin for a week and hole up and paint nonstop!

    I like this. What size is the painting?

    I like the coloring; that’s what captures me first. Next, I like the architecture, too, as you mentioned. It’s a neat looking building.

  2. Thanks, Kevin! It is five inches by seven inches, oil on canvas board. I want to do one of these little guys every morning before work and sell ‘em on eBay or Etsy, but I haven’t been able to manage that just yet. One of these days…
