At the corner of Bedford Avenue and Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn is a large, red armory building (the 23rd Regiment Armory, built in 1891-95 in Romanesque Revival style, according to Wikipedia). At the back end of the armory on Atlantic Avenue is an auto collision shop. Here in this painting one can see a wrecked car, awaiting repair, neatly tucked into the corner where the collision center buts up against an armory tower (I could write that the shop collides with the armory). In the background is the Franklin Avenue Shuttle bridge that spans Atlantic Avenue. The geometry of the city is plainly evident forming a nice composition. 12x16 oil on panel.
