Great acrylic and ink across the bay of the North Shore Towers Ray. The towers set against the dramatic sky with lights reflecting on the waves. Very well done. Good luck in the contest and thanks for sharing :-)

This is awesome ! What a wonderful urban scene I love the city structures across the water , they are so well created and I like that this is an early evening scene . The pink sky interrupted by the dark clouds , the water in front is beautifully reflecting the lights and structures as well as the pink and blue tones in the sky .
I appreciate the texture here of the wood.
Very well arranged and presented! Very best wishes to you in this contest! I wish I had a six to award!

You've captured a wonderful view of the city and shown it in a unique way.! The framing is well thought out, and the use of light and shadows adds both depth and character. The colours are vibrant, and the composition ties everything together seamlessly. Excellent effort!Good luck!

There is only one person I know that can do this type of amazing work. I'm pretty sure it's you Ray. Composition, shades, tones. Colours and textures are extremely well done. Amazing to view. Wish I could award you a six.

Comment from Kathy Banich


This acrylic masterfully captures the essence of urbanism through a dynamic composition of impressionism. The juxtaposition of the serene water, with reflections aglow, against the energetic cityscape evokes a sense of harmony and contrast. The use of light and shadow adds a dramatic effect, highlighting the intricate details and creating a sense of movement within the painting. A well-suited contender for the contest, good luck.

Urban art at its best it slightly looks as if the paints run in this but probarly not but it has made this interesting,struggling a bit with the bottom part because i can see lights but in an ocean[probarly wrong again] but it does require a bit of thought looking at this...brian

    You did fine but the water feature is the bay. The Paint was sparcely applied for effect. Thank you for your fine review.

This is an interesting painting; best seen for clarity at a distance. I see the urban buildings in the distance with their reflections in the water in the foreground. A very nice submission to the contest. Good luck.
