Below the Curve

Sold

While wandering through New York I had forgotten where I was. This happens more than I'd like to admit. As I was approaching Fifth Avenue It seemed to peek around the neighboring building at me. I hadn't eaten lunch so it could have been that. As I got closer it appeared to stand more upright and proud as if waiting to have its picture taken. I really shouldn't skip meals.

This is a painting of a cornice that tops a building near the Highline in Chelsea, NYC. I love these old building details. I can even point out the corbels and the dentil moldings. After that you're on your own.

Coming out of Harrisburg, PA, the train passes under this overpass. I have always enjoyed figuring out where we are and if I've ever been here using any other mode of transportation. I'm weird that way. This is the Airport Connector (it's actually called that) which is the main entryway into the Harrisburg International Airport. Having flown out of there on many occasions it gives me the hat trick: planes, trains and automobiles. Weird might be putting it mildly.

This is a painting of the Greek Revival building on Park Avenue South at, I believe, East 25th Street. It's across from Madison Square Park. It houses the New York State Supreme Court's Appellate Division. I wandered around taking pictures of this building for almost an hour, so I'm sure that my face is now in some Homeland Security database for facial recognition. The price we pay for art.

Approaching Philadelphia there are all of these different rail lines running along, over, and under each other. They have all been built in various eras so they were engineered and built accordingly. This one was apparently built during the Roman Empire. I was thinking of calling it "...Why Not a Chicken?"

This is a section of track just outside of Newark, New Jersey. The tran dips down into something of a trench lined on both sides with these great stone walls. The shadow is from, for lack of better term a signal trestle.

Part of a clover leaf just west of Secaucus, NJ. The challenges with this painting were how to show that the bridge was curving outward in the center, and whether or not there was enough information so that you could figure out what was going on.

This bridge caught my eye from about 200 yards up the track. There's something about red. I'd like to think that Paul Georges would appreciate this one.

This series again! Yes. This series. Again. Scenes From a Train. This is a painting of a train yard near Philadelphia. It was dusk when we came out of the tunnel in New Jersey. The sky was beautiful so I took about 150 photographs before the sun went away.

This is a painting of the General Theological Seminary as seen from the Highline in Chelsea in NYC. I've painted it before but it's such a great old building it bares repeating.
