"Mary Weatherford: Red Hook"

"Produced over the past two years, the works on view—literally luminous abstract compositions—can be seen as following the course of a day, from sunrise to sunset, in the midst of an industrial urban setting. The colors and textures of the works indicate the shifting light, atmosphere and mood that she observed during her visit. The allover compositions contain exuberant brushstrokes that never quite reach the edges of the canvas, which are typically left blank. A thin tube or two of neon lighting, usually oriented vertically or horizontally, punctuate each canvas, the wiring and transformer plainly visible." (David Ebony, Art in America)

After reviewing the provided work, spend 5 minutes on a free sketch.  Think about things that you see during your day.  Think about things that you see at specific times of day as the day progresses.  It is not important what you are sketching but that you spend the entire time drawing.
