I've been captivated by this view of the Hudson since I first saw it.
It's one of those marvelous points of frustration and inspiration. I'm happily compelled to try to capture it in all it's changing moods.
Wednesday nights I listen to solo piano music and look out at the black on black view, transfixed. Tonight, I figured out a way to bring it together.
Here I wanted to work with black cardboard (texture and color), and had found this CK Fragrance package, thinking it could also work as an unfolded book. Charcoal, blue marker, gold pen, watercolor crayons, and on the bottom, the glue & package itself works well as a direct form of the view of the New Jersey Palisades.
5 versions in all. And a more traditional version for contrast.
Listening to number 3280 of New Sounds on WNYC, Donna McKevitt's song cycle called Translucence.
