Description
When I saw this mill on this particular day, it seemed that it was simply crying out to be painted. The building was full of wonderful squares and rectangles while the strong sunlight created many triangles and trapezoids. There is a beautiful contrast between the more distant metal sided tower and the closer brick structure. The tower is a smooth texture and a cool color while the brick section is rougher and is various shades of warm reds.
As if it needed one, the building had a perfect focal point in the red checkerboard.
When I do a painting like this one, I become very aware of the history of the place...the people who designed and built it, the people who worked in it and the community around it.
They don’t build them like this anymore!
