Scenes From a Train

#180

Sold

This is one of those scenes that you run across as you're train nears a rail hub, in this case Newark. I was drawn to the blinding sun pushing its way through the steel lattice work, and in doing so, pushing all of that valuable negative space.

Along the tracks just outside of Philadelphia. This is a wedge shaped building that I've been watching over time, though not long enough to have chronicled the fading of the original graphics painted on its back. It's like watching an hour hand move.

I'm back after a long hiatus due to illness. This was truly the lost summer. Hopefully I can resume my painting schedule and try to get back to "daily" painting.

This is a scene from the Amtrak line going to NYC. I was drawn the thin band of light streaming through between the two bridges. Aside from the obvious tonal contrast, there is a distinct contrast in age between the to spans. Painting old concrete never gets old.

Urban Aspect

I am honored and happy to announce that my painting Nor'easter will be included in the exhibit Urban Aspect, at the Principle Gallery, in Alexandria, Virginia.

Another day of huge clouds. In fact the working title for this was Monster Cloud. I went for tame.

Sold

Taking a break from the City to paint what's actually around me. Ironic because one of the reasons that I moved to the country was to paint landscapes. So, back to my roots.

Another painting of the beautiful Newark Station. This is a scene looking up toward the skylights, obviously, and maybe not as obviously is the pedestrian ramp leading to the platform. For me, this series never gets old.

Late Afternoon Sun

When ever we stay in New York we try to stay in a certain hotel. We also try to stay in certain rooms because of their view. On this particular trip I spent an inordinate amount of time photographing the skyline from the hotel window. No, I didn't see a show.

Chelsea Water Tower

Sold

Another view from the Highline in NYC's Chelsea. I fell in love with the copper facade. It must have been restored recently because I could see areas of less oxidized (red not green) metal.

I paint one of these every few years, if for no other reason than to chronicle the aging process. I also grew this cool beard since the last one. Proof positive that artists never grow up, we just get older.
