6x12 oil
I am pleased to announce that this painting was recently awarded 2nd place in the Mechanicsburg Art Center's spring juried show. This was painted at the West Fairview boat launch directly across the Susquehanna from Harrisburg and the capitol. It is a view I have attempted to paint several times and have always had difficulty with pushing the buildings back in space, but on this particular day the hazy atmosphere reduced everything to shades of gray. It was one of those rare moments when I finished a painting in just a few hours and did not feel it needed any more work.

As this piece came into view via scrolling, I said, "Wow!" I love skylines and this is a beauty, especially nestled off the water as it is. Beautiful work and congratulations, Julie!
congrats kid well done
Very nice Julie...beautiful job. Very atmospheric painting. I like the way you handled the subtle changes in the buildings to add shadow and depth to the cityscape. It was a challenge getting that all captured on 6x12. Very nicely done!
I saw your painting this past weekend and think it looks even better in person. Congratulations Julie, WTG!
