I have been having a great time painting watercolors in New York over the past month and now I have some time to post up the work. For this study of the bridge connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan (July 29th; afternoon) I set up on some protective rocks that breakdown large vessel wake from entering Brooklyn Bridge Park, very close to the Manhattan Bridge and about 20 feet away from the East River, looking due North of the direction the river is named. The light was high above the middle span of the suspension bridge and doubly creating backlight and highlighting the atmospheric smog / water vapor hanging around the bridge.
