Artist Statement     "I have a particularly strong attachment this painting , because it is the 59th Street (Queensborough) Bridge in New York City, which my grandfather Francesco,  was one of the multitudes of Italian laborers who hauled steel girders to build it. I work in watercolor and feel, contrary to old-fashioned expectations, that it is a powerful medium capable of expressing bold subjects. My paintings are a result of the play of values and brushstrokes. To develop the mood, I apply multiple glazes and juicy washes. Then, I begin to refine areas with descriptive details. My primary concern is to capture the mood and those stirring, overpowering sensations reminiscent of my first glimpse of New York harbor. In the end, my subjects- grand as they are- are secondary to conveying what I feel in the moment."
