This painting is called Hoover Dam. Hoover Dam is a very big dam on the Colorado River, 30 miles from Las Vegas. The dam's intake towers contrasts with the blue lake. The dam stands out against the cliffs, because the cliffs are black with lemon-yellow stripes going down toward the powerhouses. The dam looks so realistic to the photo. The water that is flowing out below looks like it's flowing water because it has shadows and highlights in it. My brush strokes are flowing downward to show that the water is coming out into the river. The orange and purple powerhouses stands out against the water because orange and blue are opposite of the color wheel. I used tube paint. This painting took 2 sessions. This painting is beautiful, loud, and peaceful.
