CITY TRAIN painting and EAST VILLAGE NOCTURNE

This new painting is called "City Train", it is 24x36 inches. If you scroll down, you can see the drawing I did of this same place a while back. In this painting, I wanted to play with a bluish palette, keeping the color very limited. It has a rather smokey, hazy feel.


This is "East Village Nocturne", it is 16x24 inches. The scene here is on St. Marks, the East Village bookshop, a brownstone, and Cafe Magador. One of my favorite little places in Manhattan.

The top painting, with the trains has a very interesting feel to it. It feels as though it is a model, with a very shallow depth of field. I am digging that feeling.

Thanks Jesse. This is one of those paintings that I had to do a few times to finally get it right.

Something always charming about your little trains snaking about under bridges.
