City of the Future Painting

The painting depicts Houston's main elements of its landscape, job industries, and the raising of Houston as a culinary capital from all its unique flavors and diversity. The composition is based on a series of colored frames. From outside to inside, each color represents the different elements of the city's landscape and its three major industries: Green = Parks Grey = Highways Blue = Bayou Orange = Energy Industry Teal = Medical Center Purple/Pink = Oil & Gas All together, the different colors and their variation in saturation express the cultural diversity that this city offers. The frames create a window focusing on an iconic astronaut in reference to being the so called 'Space City' holding a covered food tray making a statement that Houston is now the new cuisine capital! Houston's skyline is reflected on the astronaut's helmet.
