NOTES:
"The Gloaming" is the companion to "Dawn"  and is based on a collage of Detroit and Chicago images with the dynamics of decline and rise. “Gloaming” uses the diamond shape, plunging perspective and dramatic lighting to emphasize a topic of decay and renewal and the replacement of craft and personality with economy and impersonality. The elements are borrowed the skylines of Detroit and Chicago.  It is the yang of its yin/yang companion “Dawn”.  The central element, based on the ruins of the former Michigan Hotel in Chicago, protrudes from the picture while the central feature of Dawn, a rising skyscraper recedes.  “Gloaming” is a Micropointillist technique acrylic on canvas painting was created using only the three primary colors of yellow, red and blue.
