I painted this a few weekends ago in my neighborhood, Sunnyside, Queens. The subway tracks are a distinctive feature of Sunnyside- they are above ground on a concrete structure with these great arches. It's common to see new visitors to Sunnyside discover that there is a big echo underneath these arches.
The light really changed as I was doing this one- it went from a sunny afternoon to an overcast late afternoon. The blue sky in the background remained the whole time, though it was cloudy overhead by the time I finished, with some gray clouds finally breaking into the picture plane. It was an interesting challenge.
