Artwork Description

Woodwards #3

0.0 x 0.0

26x41 ins. Oil on wood. This is the third of three paintings that depict the former Woodwards department store, a fixture of the once bustling commercial district in downtown Vancouver. The scene that I painted here shows the rubble after the implosion of the remaining buildings that were not demolished by excavators. My photo reference was daytime, a grey and rainy day. I chose to make this painting melancholic and low key so I chose to set the mood at twilight for that effect.
