Piece description from the artist
This is a colorful landscape/cityscape inspired by my frequent drives passed this very spot near home at the intersection of Gulf to Bay Boulevard, Highland Avenue and Court Street in Clearwater. My fascination with the lines, angles and patterns of the traffic lights, cross walks, cars and buildings in an ordinary and somewhat dreary scene are the subject of this contemporary artwork. I injected life into it with vibrant colors of red, yellow, pink and green with the purpose of creating a lighthearted scene.
