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

Break - man looking at Millet

Today I finished the larger sized version of Break. On the painting you see a man looking at Man with a hoe by Millet. The man on Millets' painting is taking a rest of his hard labour on the land. Obviously my figure didn't have to work that hard today, he's enjoying a visit to the Getty Center, but still he's taking a rest as well.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

Subway Seats

I've been painting a lot of larger scaled paintings these last couple of weeks and I felt like doing a smaller one for change. The painting shows one of my favourite subjects: the subway of New York. You see 2 seats of the car and through the open door you have a direct view of what's going on on the platform.

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.

Head-Lights - painting of yellow cab New York

It's so hot in my studio! The paint is drying before I even can mix it properly. It's one of those days I wished I was a plein air painter. Ah well, I just keep going at it and besides I got a small break coming up this weekend starting tomorrow. In any case I finally made the larger sized version of Head-Lights. It seems I'm heavy on the cabs these days!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

Times Square

Another great night scene in New York. This time the painting is situated at Times Square. The paintings shows a little bit more buildings than usual, but that's because the whole place is heavy lightened, which is a blast to paint. I painted this one with my upcoming show in New York in mind. At this point I'm not sure which ones to bring so we'll see how that goes.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

The Guardian

I didn't think I wouldn't finish The Guardian today, but I did! On the painting you see an attendent in front of Venus and Adonis done by Simon Vouet in 1642 as seen in the Getty Center in Los Angeles.

Adonis holding his spear is ready to leave his beloved Venus to be off to the hunt. Venus, the goddess of love, touches his shoulder, imploring him not to go. My attendant is guarding this scene and in doing so he's the guardian of love as well.

For now I'm going to keep up the painting a week method I seem to have developed these last couple of weeks. Not sure if that's wise financially, but I'm having way too much fun painting these scenes. Have a great weekend!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

Concentrating on larger work this week

If you have been following my blog lately you know that I'm painting for a show coming up in New York in september. I still need a couple of more larger sized paintings for the show or at least to pick from. I'm therefore concentrating on this. At this moment I'm painting a large museum scene. I hope to complete this piece by the end of the week, but I'm not sure if I can. If not it will appear on monday the latest.

kind regards, Gerard
