Out of Service (factory)

12x9 watercolor on 140 lb cold press Canson paper done yesterday.  This deserted factory building scene is interesting with all its many levels and I've featured it on WetCanvas in their contemporary forum challenge.  My intention was to render it in a more basic abstract way but am still turned on by realism.  The original photo only shows dark buildings in shadow so here I've tried to spice it up with color.
