This painting is from on the spot studies of a dredge that was hauled ashore on the Hudson River in Newburgh Harbor, about sixty miles north of New York City. We were in a workshop there, but before painting the view downriver I did a few graphite sketches of this dredge. A few weeks afterward was this studio piece.

For me, industrial an un-lovely subject matter can be a departure point because there is often beauty in unexpected places.
