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.

the intense tropical light, blue shadows, and lush colors are what I sought to achieve in this sketch of a Florida Beach House in Key West

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.
