The fantasy/sci-fi theme for September continues. What's ironic is that I'm incapable of producing or feeling comfortable with illustrations and designs of dream worlds. My profession is my religion, my sin is my lifelessness (I didn't write that). The practical limitations of architecture and project delivery tend to define how I look at the depictions of built environments. The bridge in this painting is lovely, but I'm worried that the center support is going to erode any minute. The guardrails aren't high enough and the travel lane is too narrow. See? I'm ruining it.
