It's got a pole on top with an American flag, and it seems to be anchored to the ground with what looks like steel girders. I say it's a Sacramento landmark off Interstate 5 as you enter the city from the south. I'm sure of this. Now you know.

UFO or simply a landmark?...David's blog readers want to know.

Hunh...and here I thought it was a water tower! LOL I love that semi on the overpass, the sweeping movement of the grasses. A lovely painting, David!
ReplyDeleteNo bright lights or strange tones issuing from it? Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteI love your palette of greens in this painting. They are a challenge, and these are lovely.
That's a rad painting~ Two thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteGrabbed my attention right away, being that I am from Mars.... Pennsylvania that is.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Autumn. Good word you have for the foreground grass..."sweeping". Actually, most of my painting is sweeping. I have always admired artists that use big, juicy sweep-like paint strokes. John Sargent was good at that and even in watercolor!.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, I gotta tell you that green foliage can drive me to drink, but with this painting, it was so easy... what's up with that?!!! Your ducky paintings are a gas!
ReplyDeleteNot one but two thumbs up from Miura?...now that's rad! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a double hoot and a half, Maria!!... you ARE FROM MARS!!!! (Pennsylvania).
ReplyDeleteI can't believe what a lesson in composition this is!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is nothing I EVER would have thought of painting! Ever! And yet I find it quite fascinating...especially like the blurred truck flying through the painting!!!
Ginny, That water tower is so visually exciting for me that I had to paint it. And the meadow in front and the traffic wizzing by is the icing on top of the cake. Glad you like it!
ReplyDeleteOooh, that's a cool painting! I like the way you faded out the back of the truck to show motion, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leslie. I sen to recollect some artist in Texas that does paintings that look a little like this.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very appealing design. I think it would work well with or without that big tank thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill (Onpainting). Hey!...that "big thing" is a f--king Sacramento landmark, dude! We get what we can get here in Sactown aka:" The Big Tomato".
