Industrial nocturne, new watercolor painting

Added on by rebecca kanfer.

I am captivated by the experience of looking across the urban landscape during that brief time, just as daylight breaks or before darkness sets in.

The hours of dawn and dusk are a special time which allows us to see the world in a different way. Understandable objects of everyday life fade, and instead the subtle or contrasting shifts of light and dark define abstracted forms. A line is drawn by the division between silhouetted shapes below and the colorful glow above.

This painting captures the legacy of an industrial waterfront. A place which contains remnants from the past, preserved as layers, and revealed in our present experience of a waterfront park.
