Doodlewash prompt: Chimney
Did you know that the tallest chimney in the world is the GRES-2 Power Station, Ekibastuz, Kazakhstan at approximately 1377 ft?
I intended something quite different. I went looking on Pixabay for a reference photo, thinking of an old crumbly one, but this was the first image that appeared when I typed in chimney. As much as I hate the pollution it must be pumping out, I was struck by the powerful colors and thus you see the results.

Love your painting!
Thank you so much!
This is a very powerful statement…..yes, I agree with the pollution statement. BUT…… the colors are absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you, Leslie! I suppose it does say that there is beauty in everything, but we should always be mindful of what beneath the beauty.
A new take on “Industrial Chic!” These billowing towers of pollution and economic support for poor communities have always been a push-pull on my sensibilities. I am a true environmentalist, but I have to admit this painting is powerful and amazing! It belongs in a picture book about environmental care for kids and adults. REALLY! 🙂
Many thanks, Judy! Many good things have come from these pollutionators (I think I created a new word!). But as with all things, we must be mindful of what lies beneath the beauty.
