In the Wake of the Ferry

In the Wake of the Ferry

When in Manhattan I try to take the Staten Island Ferry across and back which gives me great motifs to paint with my watercolors.

In the Wake of the Ferry

7" x 9" watercolor

by Keith Gunderson

Here are two versions of this scene painted by John Sloan around 1907, along with an intaglio etching. Sloan titled the two paintings "In the Wake of the Ferry".Version one  is in the Phillips collection in Philadelphia and version two is in Detroit.

This was an etching Sloan made around the same time.

Bowling Green Manhattan Plein Air

Whenever I'm in lower Manhattan- which is not infrequently- I always manage to make a plein air watercolor or two in and around the Bowling Green, Whitehall, and the Staten Island Ferry.

New York City Art Studio

A watercolor painting I made in the studio of my friend Janet , which occupied the front parlor of the top floor of a nineteenth century five story walkup on the corner of 55th Street and 8th Ave. Amazing light but also a real sense of New York City when the windows were open and you could feel the energy of the throngs of people and activity below. Yet on a still gray day it could be quiet and serene.
