Westtown, N.Y.
Bay Ridge Alley
(watercolor on paper, 25x20)
I typically try not to “center” the visual elements in my paintings,
but this scene was fascinating because all the details lead the
viewer’s eye toward the center and the mysterious shadows at
the end of the alley. I emphasized the contrasting darks with the
brilliant sunlight, making the viewer feel present.
