’The 74…Hanging Out’ Oil on Linen 31” x 41” 2925.

This the first painting in the construction series titled ‘The 74…Hanging Out’ named for its location at E74th St. & 3rd Ave. on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Viewed from the studio, the rising apartment tower across the street. At first attention was not only on the upward scale of construction, but the communal rhythm of the workers moving floor to floor — a shared sense of labor, precision, and purpose.
