With this work, I am getting closer to finishing a series of paintings that I started when we were in Baltimore. This one, like all the others, was seen along one of the streets on our almost daily walks around the inner harbour. Initially, this large vent caught my eye as a powerful motif standing against a lighter sky. When I looked closer, I was delighted to discover how it and the roof had weathered over the years. Apart from the subtle greens which was all that was left of the initial paint, there were many textures and streaks of rust which I knew I would enjoy recreating in a painting. Here I am about half way through the process but there is still a lot more to come....
