View from Manhattan Bridge

Oil on linen, 9″ x 12″, 2017

This is a view from the Manhattan bridge in morning light, with the Knickerbocker Village buildings in the middleground.  This part of Lower Manhattan is called “Two Bridges”.  In the background is the tower of 40 Wall Street on the left, and 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza on the right.  Hints of the graffiti rooftops are visible in the foreground below.

I was interested mostly in the patterns formed by the shadows on the buildings.
