View from Brooklyn
Acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas, signed in the lower right corner. Hanging hardware is included.
I created this original cityscape painting to capture a scenic view of the waterfront in DUMBO, Brooklyn. This piece is particularly meaningful to me because it is based on photographs I took while strolling through the neighborhood where I used to live; I wanted to recreate the specific atmosphere of the East River that stayed with me from those walks.
I chose to split the composition horizontally, allowing the iconic Manhattan Bridge and the vast, purplish sky to dominate the upper half of this cityscape. You can see the steel structure of the bridge stretching across the water, with the New York City skyline just visible in the distance. In the foreground, I focused on the river's edge, rendering the murky gray water as it splashes against the rocky shoreline. I also included the large brick building with its arched windows, using my geometric and impressionistic style to capture that unique blend of historic architecture and modern glass. To capture the true spirit of the neighborhood, I included several figures along the promenade, reflecting the quiet, communal energy of a day at the park.
