About the Artwork

Long red brick mill buildings line a quiet canal, rows of arched windows running toward a distant bridge. At the center, a square brick tower carries an old water tank on stilts, a familiar shape on this city's skyline. The still water doubles everything, so the brick, the tower and the soft sky all repeat below in rippled, broken color.

The brushwork is loose and impressionist, with short, thick dabs of paint that read as clouds overhead and as glints on the water. A pale turquoise sky is scattered with peach, cream and butter-yellow strokes, and the low evening light warms the brick to a glowing rust. A feathery tree on the left adds yellow-green to the warm palette of this architectural canvas wall art.

Durham locals will recognize this industrial heritage right away, and it makes a meaningful gift for alumni, history buffs or anyone with ties to North Carolina.

It suits living rooms, studies or entryways, especially with wood furniture or warm neutrals. Good alone as a statement piece.

Some old guy on a bench in the Public Garden told me I paint the pigeons better than the swan boats. Rude, but fair. These days I give both equal time, along with the brownstones on Beacon Hill, in quick bright strokes before the light moves. The pigeons still get the best colors.

Impressive representation of durham's historic architecture

The canvas vividly captures Durham's architectural elegance. It's not quite like being there, but indeed a commendable rendition. Packaging could be improved.
