Industrial Collection

original industrial oil paintings by April Raber

	Birdbath 8" x 16"  Oil on board Birdbath depicts the western part of California's San Joaquin Valley in cotton country. Here, amidst a power distribution grid so vital to the valley's irrigation network, a flock of birds bathe in a puddle of water overflowing from a clogged irrigation ditch. (purchased by the Festival of Arts for their permanent collection)
	Refinement 16" x 12"  Oil on board   available
	Red Gate 14" x 11"  Oil on board This painting was done at a building materials yard.  The materials are stored behind a high wall.  What caught my eye is that the stairway ascending the wall ends with a curious red gate, seemingly leading to an afternoon moon hanging in the winter sky. This painting was selected for exhibition at Oil Painters of America 18th Annual National Juried Exhibition of Traditional Oils, Sage Creek Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico, May 1 - May 31, 2009 available
	Monolith II 14" x 11"  Oil on board This freeway underpass was done in San Francisco near the 101.  I admire the structure and design presented to the eye in this location.   Tens of thousands of people pass by this monolith every day, and don't have the opportunity to take a careful look. available
