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

2018, Oil on Hardboard, 10"x 14"

Scenes From a Train

Contact Principle Gallery To Purchase

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. 

Looking Down the East River, II

2017, Oil on Linen, 10"x 20"

City

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!"

A Walk In the Rain

This is a painting of the Chrysler Building (NYC) during a pretty heavy rain. What drew me to this, aside from it being the Chrysler Building, was the light shining on, off and through all of those water droplets. It looked  a lot like fire. This painting is on view at Principle Gallery through December 2017, during the Small Works Exhibit.

The Red Drawbridge

2017, Oil on Hardboard, 7"x 5"

To Buy Contact Principle Gallery Here

This is a painting of the Roosevelt Island Bridge, which spans the East River from Roosevelt Island to Astoria Queens, New York. It opened in 1955, the year that 'Dem Bums beat my beloved Yankees in the World Series. The jubilation in Brooklyn was short lived when the universe was once again properly aligned the next year when the Yankees beat the Dodgers in five games (one of them being Don Larsen's perfect game). But I digress. The bridge is not terribly noteworthy unless you happen to paint urban landscapes, in which case it is magnificent!

Fire

2017, Oil on Hardboard, 4"x 5"

This is a painting of a New York City fire call box. It is located along the east side of Madison Square Park, at 25th Street. I'm always amazed that since they no longer work these historical artifacts are still around, and apparently some are being maintained. This painting will be heading down to Principle Gallery, in Alexandria, VA, for the annual Small Works Exhibit, in December. 

The opening reception is Saturday, December 2, 1-4.

Three Stacks

2017, Oil on Linen Panel, 9"x 6"

This is a painting of the Con Ed power plant in Astoria, Queens (NYC), as seen from Roosevelt Island, in the East River. It is slated for the Small Works Exhibit at Principle Gallery, in Alexandria, VA later this year. The painting, not the power plant, or Roosevelt Island.
