Large scale approx. 4ft x 5ft is reminiscent of work by Lee Reynolds. The heavily textured array of skyscrapers employs an impasto technique. The painterly buildings reflect upon the body of water with cream, gray, and blue highlights. The sky above is cream with fluffy clouds on a light blue sky. The artist’s signature is present in the bottom right corner. The painting is conveyed on canvas and housed in a dark brown metallic colored copper frame.

Lee Reynolds Burr (1936–2017) opened his Vanguard Studios in Beverly Hills, California, in 1964 to make oil paintings an attainable decoration for any American household. With seascapes, nautical scenes, still-life, bullfights, cowboys, pastoral views, hot-air balloons, horse races, and abstractions, there was a Vanguard Studios creation to match any taste and interior.
