#0120 Battery Park City Series #1

An early morning view of the World Trade Center from the south end of Battery Park City, N.Y., N.Y. I wanted the twin towers to be the focus of the painting, but I also wanted an interesting composition. I used the structure at the bottom right (the Jewish Holocaust Museum), with its strong diagonal line to help offset the vertical strength of the towers. The rest of the painting follows from this idea. The work took about six weeks of painting on site from 6:30AM to 10:30AM.
