City Yacht Club

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 40x30
The glittering lights of the city form a backdrop to the pleasure craft floating in regal style in the harbor. The yachts of various sizes are dwarfed by the colossal buildings and the night reflections add a festive mood to the painting.

New York Harbor at Daybreak

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 12x16
The tugboat is one symbol of New York. Along with its more famous icons of Lady Liberty, the Empire State Building, and the Brooklyn Bridge, the sturdy little tugs, once all steam powered, working quietly in the harbor became a sight in the city. In this painting morning dawns, and the city looms in the background with pleasure craft nearby. This working class boat chugs along, followed by a flock of noisy seagulls.

Harbor of Lights

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 40x30
(click image to enlarge)

This impressionistic cityscape allowed me to loosen up and achieve a semi-abstract painting with unusual (for me) color combinations of warm and cool hues side-by-side. It's all about the glow of the glittering city lights.
