| Midtown Messengers, 18x24" Acrylic on Paper |
I'm working on a series of NYC paintings in a larger format. This summer I have a show coming up at my gallery in Provincetown, Simie Maryles Gallery, and I've decided to create a new series of work. I had a blast painting this one - hope it shows. It seemed to paint itself... my job was to not to "get in it's way" by thinking too much. This is actually 18x24" but I cropped off the top of the chrysler building for the post, because it made the image so small you couldn't see much. I will attach a few details, which make me realize that there are several paintings within this painting. I suppose that summarizes why I love New York. Everywhere you set your sights is a painting waiting to happen!

This is an amazing painting. Did you paint it from a photograph?
The joy you had painting this just shines. Acrylic on paper! What a great medium. You're right. There are some great little design gems in there! Can't wait to see what happens next. Awesome.
Jerry and Nancy - thanks!
yes, i did paint it from a photo I took a while back. there were no bikers in the photo so I added them.
nancy - glad you can see the "fun" in it. the photo was pretty grey so it was quite enjoyable to color it up!
thanks for your nice comments, gals
Fantastic Patti, was this painted on a toned canvas? Do I see burnt sieanna under there?
hey Barbara - i painted this on printmaking paper - Rives BFK i think. I gessoed it first, both sides, and did not tone it, just painted on the white gesso. there probably is some burnt sienna lurking around but it was painted on...
Hi Patti, I saw your work on The Art Room, and was blown away by your vibrant color and amazing brushwork! I'm signing up to follow you, and am looking forward to many more fantastic paintings!
