Six months ago, I walked the East River, freezing my butt off, gathering reference photos for this winter piece. I’m glad winter is over. However, it’s a magical time of year, especially for a painter. I wanted to depict everything you see on the river in the winter; snow, thin layers of shore ice, frost in the trees, and a little steam coming off the water. “Winter’s Grip” 30”-40” Oil on canvas .
