Summertime in SoHo

Inspired by a photograph I took on a summer afternoon in SoHo, this painting captures the familiar rhythm and everyday energy of New York City. With its dynamic interplay of light and shadow and countless points of visual interest, I enjoyed finding balance within a square composition. From the architecture and fire escapes that make this neighborhood so recognizable, down to the subtle reflections of passing figures in the sidewalk grate, this painting celebrates the beauty of an ordinary day in the city and how much there is to appreciate when we take the time to look.
