“With an eye made quiet by the power of Harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.”- W. Wordsworth, 1798
In this oil painting, with that quiet eye, I find harmony in a street scene in SoHo, Manhattan. It was a spring afternoon. Bright sunlight filtered through a canopy of baby-green trees and the fragrant explosion of a blooming cherry tree, illuminating the historic buildings of SoHo. I watched people pass by the iconic mint-green elegance of Ladurée, a scene that made me feel warm and refreshed.
Using energetic, loose brushstrokes, a dynamic palette knife, and a vivid color palette, I sought to capture this poetic atmosphere and translate the fleeting sensation of a New York spring onto my canvas.
