I have printed several Brooklyn Bridges, but I always wanted to paint this view of the Manhattan Bridge. I applied textures like cement, plaster and structo to a cradle board. The sides are also textured because I like to give the buyer the option of not having a frame. I envision my pieces frameless. I create the desired texture for every different piece. Sometimes I am also able to sketch on the wet texture to create some lines that become part of the art. In every piece I like to use textures on top of the wooden board because it's what I like about this city, and I want to transfer it in my art.
