A concentrated viewpoint of an abandoned warehouse in the small industrial town of Turtle creek Pennsylvania. There is a combination of detailed brush work and a subtle application of paint with the palette knife that works towards a sense of energy fading. This painting is inspired by the concept of entropy; where an isolated system creates an equilibrium that adapts and grows though time. However, painting is also designed to strike on a level of humanity. There is an expression of a complex history, lost hope, and a limited perspective of the future; yet life goes on. Here is a depiction of the mind, pathology, and the impact an environment has on the mental state over time.

Painting is ready to hang with a wire hanging kit.
