Painting Acrylic on Canvas by Brian Sindler: Morning NY, Framed

A bridge, a river and a city, all still deciding whether to wake up.

Morning NY is a framed acrylic on canvas painting by Brian Sindler, made around 2018. Painters have long been drawn to the view from above, where a city flattens into pattern and light becomes the main event. Here the whole scene is worked in cool blues and grays. A suspension bridge spans pale water at upper left, its towers picked out in a few strokes, while small points of light glimmer along the far shore. Below, the land breaks into soft blocks of buildings and winding roads under a hazy sky. It is 12 inches wide and 8 high.

New York, caught before its first cup of coffee.
