Going Up
by Nancy Kane Chapman
Title
Going Up
Artist
Nancy Kane Chapman
Medium
Painting - Gouache, Ink, Colored Pencil Picasa Color
Description
This painting grew more complicated and dense with each layer, each addition of color and finally the white and black accents created a balance work. I have always loved building these structures, feeling my way up avenues and boulevards, letting the slanting line lead the eye to the center. This is every big city I have explored.
