Painted on location in downtown New York city, this painting shows the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset. At the base of the bridge, some distance away, can be seen Pier 17 with masts behind the pier (which are historic boats, schooners owned by the Maritime museum). I\'m not a fan of modern buildings, but in this case the Continental Center, which is shaped octagonly, reflects the sky in the opposite direction creating an interesting transition of harmonious colors with the sunset.

Painting showing the bright red building exterior with large windows at Washington Square North at the corner of Fifth Avenue (across from Washington Square Park) and a pink rose bush and classic old lamp post and old iron rail fence. With the exception of the "NO Parking" sign, the scene could be from the mid-1800's.

Late August, Washington Square Park

Watercolor - 16 x 12"

Painted in late August, in Washington Square Park. I had passed through the park a day or so previous and had noticed this tree with it's burnt orange coloring (for one thing astonished of the first sign of Autumn) and what's more a yellowish, autumn-y tree behind it and then surrounding yellow-green trees and was impressed by the color harmony. If that weren't enough it was all contrasted by the coolish-blue of the building and space behind the trees, poking out through the "sky-holes", and this was further heightened by blue tarps being used for construction - a painting waiting to happen.

I'm reposting this blog entry from October 2006 as I'm making it available as a print and greeting card on FineArtAmerica.com

This was painted en plein air in 2004 in New York city. This painting shows the Brooklyn Bridge, an icon of New York, at late afternoon. In the distance clearly visible is Pier 16.

I'm a little sad that I sold this painting. It may not have been painted with consummate skill but it is a record of being there at the Brooklyn Bridge at a particular time when the color and sunset effect were particularly beautiful which of course it will never quite be again, and I feel I did capture that. Oh well, perhaps I'll do a copy and make it even better!

I'm happy to say that I've started using a new service which will allow me to sell prints at various sizes and configurations in addition to offering the original for sale. This is the first painting made available like this.

This is a painting of the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, California. The scene shows the beautiful, classical architecture on a clear, sunny day with a bright blue sky, not a cloud in the sky, in the morning light of August, 2011.

This is similar in subject to the previous entry. Painted in the same location with a different point of view. An artists gains momentum repeating a similar motif by gaining familiarity with the subject matter.

View from the Panhandle

I painted this on my recent trip to San Francisco. It is a view of an area called "The Panhandle". It forms a "panhandle" with Golden Gate Park meaning it is to the edge of the park and marks the entrance to the park. There are beautiful, large and old trees found within the panhandle and beautiful historic houses bordering the panhandle, and nearby, about two blocks, is the Haight Ashbury district.

Columbus Statue in Central Park

Watercolor - 12 x 16"

Click here to bid on this painting.

This is a watercolor painting done in early August (2011) in Central Park, New York. There are pink flowers (either roses or tulips, I’m not sure) seen in the background, and some people sitting on benches in the foreground, relaxing, enjoying the day and the sculpture of Christopher Columbus. The painting is done with spontaneity and use of drybrush can be seen in foliage of the nearby trees.

East Fourteenth

Watercolor and Watercolor Pencil - 14 x 20"

Click here to bid on this painting.

This was painted a few weeks ago, I believe at the beginning of August (2011). It is a large watercolor of a street scene in New York City, looking down the street along 14th Street (in lower Manhattan), there is a grocery store to the left and buildings on the other side of the street and plenty of greenery and trees which is perhaps what attracted me to the scene. And a wide sidewalk with people passing by. Looking at the painting back in my studio I felt the colors were too weak and a bit washed out, so I used watercolor pencils (made by Derwent) to enrich and intensify the color. I selectively used washes of water which intensifies the color more and then came back and selectively drew again with the watercolor pencils. As a result there is a strong contrast of colors and excitement to the piece. The pencils were also used to accentuate the people a bit more as well.

Brooklyn Bridge from Brooklyn Bridge Park

Watercolor - 14 x 20"

Click here to bid on this painting.

This was painted on the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge in the park called "Brooklyn Bridge Park". It was painted on a late afternoon day as the sun was setting, there was a beautiful sky with some clouds catching sunlight, a beautiful view of the Municipal Building which one can get a good view of it's classical structure and it's tower and you can even make out the gilded statue on top, "Civic Fame" (to the left of the bridge, the taller more square building is Verizon Building.) Other buildings can be seen, apartment buildings of lower Manhattan and thorough fairs leading off and onto FDR highway.
There were many people out and about that day in the park, many of them there to view an outdoor movie in another part of the park. In the painting pep ole can be seen sitting on the park bench and standing about, relaxing, looking at the East River and the view of Manhattan.
