Arches and Bars, Henry Hudson Parkway
As a contemporary realist painter, my work presents urban landscapes and artifacts from unusual points of view and in striking lighting conditions that draw attention to overlooked elements of the environment. In addition, I seek out elements of the urban environment where nature and man interact — neglected corners where nature has reasserted itself among the steel and stone of the city. This is a painting of a section of the Henry Hudson Parkway in New York City as seen through an iron fence. It is off the beaten path, and partly obscured by tall weeds. I loved the contrasts of the shapes – curves and lines – and of the organic and man-made structures. With the mysterious background light, the parkway arches evoke those of a cathedral. I used multiple glazes to create a sense of depth in the background light, in contrast to the rougher, more gestural strokes for the foreground leaves.
