beginning of fall

This painting is lost now. I was just starting to develop my style at the time. It was meant to capture a fall day in Riverdale Park realistically, but it ended up looking quite abstract. I painted it in 2007.

Market Lane Park 1

A grey fence blocks the horizon. Behind it used to stand a very ugly building that served as a flea market. It was demolished a few months ago, and now the fence hides a deep hole in the ground—the future foundation of a modern, probably not very ambitious, architectural project.
In front of the fence, there’s a large raised flower bed filled with hundreds of plants. I remember when they were first planted, seemingly without any plan or concept. I love watching how they grow, how nature slowly shapes them into something that feels like a real garden.

ice cube01

A small piece of ice lost in warm fog. The light refracts in the ice and illuminates the floor creating interesting shapes.
