Right Out of the Blue

This painting was inspired by a scene on the Hoover Dam. The distinct shapes along with the retro look of the intake towers rising out of Lake Mead provide a visual treat. The emphasis of contrasting color, shadow and light enhance the overall atmosphere of the cool water under the hot desert sun.

This is an oil painting on a 12" by 24" stretched canvas.  No longer Available
