New Cityscapes - Loop Alleyways Looking Up

I started this series of cityscape paintings before the pandemic started and just finished a couple of them recently. They're based on photos I took last December walking around alleys in Chicago’s Loop. I'm trying to capture that feeling when you're standing below large buildings looking up and how the environment around you is so much larger than you. The results are like feeling overwhelmed and claustrophobic, unstable, and like things are falling down toward you.
