I haven't painted a statue en plein air for a long time, so this was great fun. There's quite a collection of wonderful objects, architectural treasures, and river overviews to paint at this favorite spot along the Hudson. I was drawn by the strong contrasts of light and shadow as the sun began it's shift to the west, and the rusty undertones of the statue.
