After years of painting the bridges crossing the Gowanus Canal with wide, horizontal perspectives, I decided to focus on the old pilings in the water with a vertical aspect. Unusually, the bridge is only a side note in this view. The deep, dark shadows cast by the bridge onto the vivid blue water in contrast with the well-lit street created interesting dramatic compositional and color effects.
