627 Painting

My subject is a massive vacant building on the decommissioned United States Navy repair facility, Mare Island. The base is beside the City of Vallejo, east of San Francisco, CA, open to the public, a grand source for realism painters and photographers. I am attracted to weathered textures. Although Building 627 isn’t roughened with rust or broken wood, it is clearly compromised. The Navy cannot maintain these buildings, only a few are leased to businesses, so they suffer neglect. This is wonderful for realists, less so for their health. I wonder how much longer 627 will stand without attention. Building 627 is basic white. Gray blemishes lend it a pastel character, which is accented by a few intense, brightly color patches. This tall, solid, megalith-like exterior imparts strength while softly muted colors harmonize with reserved surroundings. It has a modest, black, professionally made frame.
