This is a time-lapse view of the work on my painting of the Bottleworks/Water Tower Place in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I started this 36" x 60" painting around mid-September, 2017, and completed it mid-November. The following 24 photos represent nearly 10 weeks of progress (tap on photo to view)
My goal was to capture the early morning light falling on these beautiful old buildings in the NewBo district. They have been lovingly restored and renovated into amazing condos.
Art collectors Tom and Cathy Petersen, who commissioned this work, live in a wonderful space in the Bottleworks building. Their double-unit condo can be seen in the lower left of the painting. This painting, along with "Parking Ramp #2" will be added to their exceptional art collection.
