From a visit this summer to the greatest city in the world. This is a scene from East 14th Street during the "golden hour'. A time of day as the sun is dropping into the low laying Jersey smog, causing the light be a warmer yellow, or "golden." It also creates wonderful cast shadows on nearby buildings.

This is a larger version of this scene. The original of the same title, was 7x5 inches.  I don't do a lot of remakes, but this kept prodding. Here is what I wrote three years ago.

This is a scene that I happened upon during my quest for cannoli and cappuccino. The light show that is New York City at night is particularly evident in the cloud cover. In the '70's and '80's there were only a handful of buildings that were lit and the Empire State Building was the color of the evening. In recent years many other buildings have joined in, each with its own color palette. The result is a more neutral glow, and the color far usually much more subtle.

This, along with three other paintings are headed down to Principle Gallery, in Alexandria, Virginia for the group exhibit, City Limits. The opening reception is on Friday, April 13, 6:30-9:00

Beneath the Skyway

This is a painting of the Pulaski Skyway, in New Jersey, as it passes over the Amtrak rails. I painted a smaller version of this scene several years ago. The structures then were relatively pristine. Not only was there no graffiti but the concrete was was smooth and seemed unscathed by whatever makes them scathed. It just shows how tenuous our infrastructure really is. 

This paining, along with three others will be included in the upcoming group exhibition, City Limits, at Principle Gallery, in Alexandria. The Opening Reception is Friday, April 13, 2018, 6:30-9 PM.

I painted this bridge several years ago when the structures were almost pristine. Time does the same thing to infrastructure as it does to faces. It just does it more quickly.

Looking Down the East River, II

Available through Principle Gallery

This is a view of the East River of New York City, as seen from the lower tip of Roosevelt Island. It was a sparkling, but cold February day, not that I noticed. For about 20 years I lived in New York, but until this trip I had never set foot on this island. To quote General MacArthur, "I shall return!"

This is a painting that started out as a demonstration piece for a class. It got way out of control, as they often do. I had been meaning to do something with my smashed up friend. Since my painting time is almost always slated for urban landscapes, this seemed the perfect opportunity.
