About The Artwork
5th of mRowntree's watercolor series of Boston's Kenmore Square featuring the iconic Citgo sign. This view of Kenmore Square from Beacon Street must be my favorite. The buildings slowly curve away from view and disappear into a humid fog in the background. The effect minimizes the background, and begins a glow that sweeps along the sidewalk beneath the buildings into the middle-ground again. The ground-fog effect is increased by the dark street details in the foreground, and by the slight humid blur to the Citgo sign above -- giving the scene a mysterious magic. As a whole, the painting has a drama that could become the focus of any room interior. Part of every Boston University student's and Red Sox fan's collective subconscious, the Citgo sign is under threat of urban development again. All Rowntree's watercolors are titled and signed "mRowntree" in pencil beneath the artwork.

mRowntree fell in love with watercolor while studying art and design at Boston University's School of Fine Art. With the years his work has matured and today he demonstrates a confident style that recalls landscapes of his own favorite artists Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent. His work often features architecture and industrial scenes that demonstrate his interest in engineering and urban-archaeology. He has a unique talent for identifying and exploring urban anachronisms like Boston's elevated expressway (now underground) and Kenmore Square's Citgo sign. Part of every Boston University student's and Red Sox fan's collective subconscious, the Citgo sign is under threat of urban development again. Rowntree will donate 10% of net sales from the Kenmore series to support the effort to protect the sign with 'Landmark' status. mRowntree's other work includes digital design and video.
