Monday Morning Art: Wostem

This week’s art is a watercolor/acrylic hybrid study, painted on paper for pens.

This piece, inspired by several photos I took on different platforms of Chicago’s “L” last December, is a baby step toward incorporating Edward Hopper-style light, shadow and composition into a painting with a more surreal theme and subtext. If I take this to canvas, I’ll probably make it even weirder. Hopefully a little less sloppy with the signage, too.

As it is, it’s a bit subtle in the mind-hurting weirdness, and maybe a little heavy on the Hopper.
