This is a large 36 x 48 inch painting that I've been working on for the last couple of weeks showing the area under the Gowanus Expressway at Third Avenue and 20th Street in Brooklyn. I did a small 9x12 painting of this scene a couple years ago. It's strange seeing the postage stamp photo of the large painting in this post since it doesn't convey how much the larger painting makes you feel as if you were under the road, hearing all the cars and trucks moving loudly overhead. The postage stamp photo makes the painting seem more representational than it really is. When you stand close up to it, it's a bit eerie and abstract. At least that's my take.
