William Street
16 x 20
I worked more with the vanishing point in this for a sense of depth. I like
the sense of tranquility it conveys because of the blue and green, but the
contrasting touches of red and orange keep the work from being visually
boring. A nice touch I like to use whenever possible is a small,
contrasting bit of a single color to draw the eye to an out of the way spot
so that the eye keeps moving around the picture. In this instance I
used the bright yellow of the streetlight against the blue sky and green
trees. The black woman in the black dress adds a contrast in tones
with the otherwise bright scene.
Corpus Christi Bayfront
24 x 36
This is one of my favorite works because of its simple yet effective
composition. It is essentially three fields of color: cool blue and
green separated by a light, warm yellow to contrast with both. The
center foreground is dominated by four buildings forming a pyramidal mass
and which lead the eye to the vanishing point at street's end right.
Mirador
11 x 14
"Mirador" is the Spanish name for one of these gazebo-like structures
situated along the Corpus Christi Bayfront. Each contains a plaque
commemorating some aspect of the city's history.
Corner of Chaparral and William #2
18 x 24
This is of the same corner as in "Corner of Chaparral and William" above
(you can see the bright red and green building low center right) and in
"Chaparral Street #1", but taken from a couple of hundred feet farther south
on Chaparral. In the distance can be seen Shoreline Plaza 1, which is
also known as "the towers" and which can be seen in several of my works on
this page.
