Center Street Provo

This oil series I worked on the past month and a half was based on a really weird building on center street in Provo. It's kind of falling apart, and has this fantastic neon reddish orange netting over certain areas of the more subdued colored building. I wanted to turn this building into paintings more focused on interesting shapes and compositions, while keeping the fact that it's a building somewhat recognizable. I painted in layers to build up some nice textures and colors. I also decided to expose some of the beautiful natural wood of the panel through the painting, it seemed to work with the idea.
