Painting Up a Storm in Gowanus

Behold the artist at work on the shores of the Big G. Reader Tony Gatto of Gattomedia sent us these photos and a note that said, "Just in case you doubted whether Gowanus was actually becoming an artists’ colony…" While we have seen paintings of the Gowanus and know of the dozens of studios in the nabe, we have never seen a real artist actually at work along the canal, but the photos give us hope that someday we will. Meantime, if you're interested in more about the arts and artists in Gowanus, you should definitely check out Gowanus Artists and might want to look at Gowanus Lounge's own listing of some of the cool offerings in the area. We want one of those paintings for our living room.
