A vision, perhaps romantic, yet deeply personal and vibrant, of a New York icon: the Brooklyn Bridge, seen from the Dumbo waterfront. As dusk descends, a subtle magic ascends. In this memory, the sky is bathed in a golden, almost otherworldly light—a yellow hue that casts a warm glow upon the scene. The skeletal branches of a grand tree, a delicate latticework against the vibrant sky, frame the solemnity of the bridge and the tiny figures strolling below in the sweet evening. Watercolor, with its inherent transparency and the evocative technique of negative painting, proves the ideal medium to capture the interplay of natural and artificial light, reflecting and refracting across the cityscape.
