In Passing

Paintings of New Haven

Places around New Haven, painted in acrylic gouache in a 6×8 cold press watercolor notebook. Each one is something I saw in passing: a tagged garage, a porch with someone home, a car parked in the trees, the window at Plush, the highway at night.

Year: 2025–26
Role: Painting
Tools: Acrylic gouache, cold press watercolor paper
