Having lived in Manhattan for years, passion for the city never leaves me. Both city and bridge are wrapped in the corals of sunset. Somehow, I forget the harshness of urban life when the sun washes the city in reflective oranges and peach after a rain. The bridge’s impressive structure is the focus, with its cables, walkways, and massive arches. The loose mark making ties together the drama of sky, reflections, the elusive joggers running toward us, and the bridge. The colors skip back and forth with dancing joy throughout the piece. I used predominantly primary colors to infuse this piece with simplicity of focus. This icon, the Brooklyn Bridge, strong and regal, stands as a watchman guarding entry into this fine city.
