Battery Park

8" x 6" oil on hardboard
Purchase "Battery Park"

I've been wanting to paint this scene for a while, but couldn't quite decide how to crop it. The vertical format I think is more appealing than my original compositions. I avoided it because it puts the horizon right smack in the middle, but now that it's done I kind of like the way the sky and water act as a divider between the warm greens in the trees and the cool greens on the ground.
