20x16 Acrylic, watercolor, and ink on canvas panel


Remembering the golden days, before it had gone too far.

--

This is a painting of the Austin White Lime Co., a limestone quarry located in the north Austin area. The view of this place at night with all of the lights on looked like some crazy carnival or something.

I don't know what it is about your work that draws me in, gets me lost in the context. And certainly, your comments about the piece, as well as its name, conjures solid reference points to dwell upon.

A lot of conveyors in action... makes me wonder if you've ever passed by a refinery or coal run power plant before. You must've been thinking of that Mad Max film where a bunch of survivors took over an oil refinery, only to have Lord Humungous lay siege to it...

Thank you! I've come to start looking forward to your reviews. This one is actually based off of the Austin White Lime Co., a limestone refinery located down the street and through some woods and twisting, seemingly endless train tracks. I stumbled upon it one day after going on a long adventure to search for a massive water tower that I always see over the horizon (the largest in the US actually.) Loads of fun facts behind these places in the small area. I honestly did have some higher hopes for this piece, but I guess I can always revisit it later on.

Additional fun fact, I would consider this a prequel to my previous painting, The Last Day on Earth. Basically something in its golden days before its downfall. The factory can be seen in the background, too.
