This painting is atypical of Brooklyn, showing unusual lighting conditions on Grand Avenue. The location, near Bergen Street, has several auto repair shops with colorful exteriors. I was struck by the contrast between the sky and the building exteriors, whose brightness was exaggerated by the sunlight, creating a surreal view, reminding me of a De Chirico cityscape, especially with the shadow of the car on the sidewalk.
6x8 oil on panel.
