Urban Views

My current series of works involve woods interiors. However, I am always drawn to the geometry of urban views like this one I recently completed in New York City.

I suppose there is a relationship between the two. The verticals? The sense of enclosure? Until recently, the architectural paintings came much more naturally. Easier to control those boxes of shapes rather than the feathery, moving surroundings of the woods.

Finding the big abstract design in either one is the key. If I can just remind myself of that.....
