Description
My mother's hometown is Runcorn, in Cheshire England. I sketched this while visiting my Aunt Doreen and Uncle Wilf. The chimney skyline was typical of the English landscape. I found the chimneys interesting. At first I considered not including the antennae. But I liked the abstract quality about them and how they contrasted modern technology with the traditional way of life. I sketched it from life in ink and then painted over it in watercolor later.
