A terrific little abstract of a city skyline in a vibrant mix of colors, presented in an opulent gold-tone frame. The intricate cross-hatching executed with a stiff brush, or the edge of a palette knife, suggests Art Deco ornamentation. Vertical lines extend into the atmosphere, invoking the northern lights—or a shining city, perhaps some urban Xanadu. The result might easily serve as cover art for an edition of The Fountainhead. Oil on board.
