I've been working very slowly on a small drawing in my studio for about 2 years, and this is the final piece I need to add before I ink and then watercolor it.
240 Centre Street, SOHO, NYC
I've recently become more interested in drawing from life. Too early for an appointment in SOHO and with unseasonably warm temperatures, I found a great bench to sit on overlooking Lafayette and Broome street with a view of 240 Centre Street: the former Police HQ where I quickly sketched this page. Built from 1905-1909, it was used by New York's Finest until 1978. In 1988 it was converted to luxury condominiums because, of course it was.
