Description
New York, the Big Apple, Times square, Soho, Greenwich Village, I Love NY, Central Park, are all words the world knows. This piece was one of six winners from hundreds in Winsor-Newton's 1995 calendar competition. Attending an art show, I woke up to NY winter wonderland outside my hotel window but typical of this east coast area the day warmed up quickly and by the time I was ready to capture NY in the winter there wasn't a lot of snow left. What did capture my attention were the reflections on the melting snow's water and the typical Monday morning hustle that New York is famous for. I made some quick color notes and finished this piece in my hotel room while the feeling of this scene was still fresh in my mind. I purposely wanted to create a casual feeling of the hustle and bustle that this great city is all about by applying the paint in such a way that helped to foster a sort of rough character typical of NY.
