New York at Dawn (Acrylic on Canvas 35"x 25"x 1.5")
by Herbert Chow“NYC at Dawn” is the first of 6 paintings out of my City Skyline Collection. Stay tune for my rendition of "Hong Kong at Sunset".
Cloud formation, wave and fog are my favorite abstract objects. All these elements are present In this painting. At this early hour, NYC is still shrouded with a thick grayish marine layer concealing the ground of the Statue of Liberty Monument. The early sun casts a hazy yellow highlight on the city skyline through the marine layer. Above the marine layer, I draw the sky using different shades of cerulean and light blue giving hint of what to come after the fog is gone. The yellow highlights in the marine layer serve to connect the Statue of Liberty and the Freedom Tower (in the middle of the skyline) with a resilient spiritual link between them. This is the dawn of a new day in NYC with Statue of Liberty and Freedom Tower leading the charge.
