Highway shot on the NJ Turnpike on the way to Cartaret

It’s amazing how beautiful the highway can be when you depict it at the right the time at the right moment and in the right place. This painting was especially rewarding to do because of the beautiful tones and colors in the shadow areas which made the graphic shapes very interesting.
Initially, I worked by laying in the colors with a sponge to spread the color almost like a water color wash, so that I would get a sense of the minor areas in order to build on top of that. In the past I used my fingers to blend the pastels but that proved to be a very painful experience as the paper I use is a sand paper. So, I was sanding my fingertips! I have since smartened up. (I still use my fingertips, but only for the small details – but the larger areas I used the sponge.) I’m now looking into other means of blending.
I am now deciding on my next paintings. It could be oil refineries or a portrait of an old Marine and a rally in NYC. Tune in next next time~!
Here are the stages of the preparation of the painting also…

I’m in the final stages of the a painting. This is where “the rubber meets the road” and the paint meets the paper.
In this stage, the intricate details come into play and will either make or break the painting.
The reflections of the cars are like jewels and offset the massive overpass, creating a delicate balance.

Recommendation from one satisfied client
Since getting into the business Jeff has been my go to guy for all of my photography needs. I’ve had Jeff shoot everything from 3 bedroom cape cods to large million dollar + custom homes and everything in between. Jeff doesn’t just take pictures and hand them to you, he take the time to edit them where needed to adjust the lighting through photo shop to be assured you have the perfect shot. Jeff even managed to make me look like a million bucks in my business card photo!
The #1 reason I use Jeff is because he’s also a licensed realtor and knows exactly the type of photos potential buyers would like to see, and that is huge. He even goes out of his way to do some minor staging of rooms before taking a shot.
In my years of using Jeff as my photographer he’s never missed or been late to a photo shoot and my clients have always been thrilled with his work. If you want to take a chance, play the lottery. If you want great photos, choose Jeff Wolfson.
