Medium: oil pastels

A stylized digital illustration of the Fort William Elevator Company grain terminal in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The scene is rendered in vivid pop-art colors, with the large pink and yellow grain elevator dominating the right side of the image. A long line of rail cars stretches across the foreground, leading toward additional green and yellow industrial buildings on the left. The sky is a bright, cloudless blue with a small airplane faintly visible in the distance, creating a bold, minimalist composition that contrasts industrial geometry with flat color fields.
