Somewhere along the Monongahela

This piece was a commission for a university magazine who wanted an image to go with an essay about the Monongahela river, Pittsburgh. It was curious to explore – as opposed to an exact replica of any place on the river, its heavily inspired with the river shape, forest one side and industrial units the other, with coal barges lined up and being tugged along the water.
