23rd Street - people waiting on subway new york

In every subway station in New York you always have this great view of the platform across. Of course you don't get a clear view, there are a lot of beams in the way. On my painting 23rd Street you see such a scene.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

Underground - painting of new york subway

I haven't painted a subway scene for a while now. I thought it was about time again. Todays painting is the largest sized version of yesteryears daily painting Underground. The painting shows a man riding the subway of New York in an empty carriage.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

Lexington Ave

I had so much fun painting the subways scenes again that I couldn't resist the temptation to paint another one. This one was a little tricky, because of the amount of detail involved. I'm particular fond of the shiny floor, although the picture really doesn't do it any justice. You just have to take my word for it I guess. Anyway I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I did painting it!

In other news an article about the studio complex I work in appeared in the Leeuwarder Courant this week. I haven't read it myself yet, but I know it's accompied with a nice picture of me working on yesterdays painting The Call. As soon as I get my hands on a copy of it I let you know!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

23rd Street

This is one of the stations I traveled to from yesterdays subway station. Of course there were others as well, but this one caught my eye because of the arrangement of the people. The view from the platform across trough all the black beams make the scene complete for me.

Besides my daily painting I just completed a larger size one as well today. Well that is to say I think I did. I'm going to do the overnight test, you know let it rest for a while and then see if there's any adjusting to do. It's a great scene with children, but you see that soon enough!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

Houston Street

The first time I visited New York I stayed in a lovely loft on Houston Street. From there I explored the city either by foot or the subway. Todays painting shows the subway station I often took. The scene spoke to me because of the strong perspective and the train heading towards you. I wish you could see it for real, the painting is way more detailed than the picture.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

The Underground

One thing that attracts me about the subway is that is a completely different world beneath the busy streets of a large city. Usually the subway is just as busy, but on my painting you see one man taking a ride in the metro of New York. I really like painting these scenes, the lighting and the whole atmosphere really appeals to me. I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I did painting it!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

The Subway

After the cab disaster in New York I took the subway instead. Way easier and besides that more inspirational for me as a painter. I forgot which line this was, but judging by the arrangement of the seats I'm guessing it's the one from Manhattan to Brooklyn. Correct when I'm wrong. Have a great weekend!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

The Book

As you might have noticed I started to paint on slightly larger scale as well, 30,6 x 35 cm or 13.8" x 12". I really love this size, because it allows me to paint just a little more detail. Todays painting is on this new size and shows a woman reading while riding the subway of New York. She's completely taken by her book and doesn't seem to notice her surroundings at all. It makes you wonder what the book is about and what wonderful story unfolds in her mind.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

The Subway

Thank you all for all your nice comments on the cover of the Leeuwarder Courant! As promised here's todays painting!

While I was in New York for my show in Soho I often took the subway to get around town. While waiting for my own train I saw this scene right in front of me. The train is about to close its doors and is almost ready to leave. People are getting aboard in the nick of time and as always the train is crowded. It always intriques me when people are put together in places with other people they don’t know. I often wonder what they're thinking of, especially the Asian woman in the middle.

Due to the holidays this is the only painting I'm putting online this week. I'll be back next week. Merry Christmas and a happy newyear!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
