SUBWAY - NEWS STAND

SUBWAY - NEWS STAND

A work in progress. I have gone back to the subway series. When standing on the platform, one looks across to the other side of the tracks. The people there seem to be in a different world, bathed in dazzling light but framed by the stark darkness of the tracks and the many support posts. I always wonder what their stories are.
I still want to lighten and brighten the people and darken the framing elements.

NEWS STAND 24"x36" - o/c - WIP

I have come back to this theme after quite some time. Below are a couple of paintings I did of the NYC subway a few years ago. All of these paintings are based on the F train which carries me between Brooklyn and Manhattan to Queens.

I am thinking about adding to this series until I have enough to mount a show which I will call.
