This is a larger version of this scene. The original of the same title, was 7x5 inches.  I don't do a lot of remakes, but this kept prodding. Here is what I wrote three years ago.

This is a scene that I happened upon during my quest for cannoli and cappuccino. The light show that is New York City at night is particularly evident in the cloud cover. In the '70's and '80's there were only a handful of buildings that were lit and the Empire State Building was the color of the evening. In recent years many other buildings have joined in, each with its own color palette. The result is a more neutral glow, and the color far usually much more subtle.

This, along with three other paintings are headed down to Principle Gallery, in Alexandria, Virginia for the group exhibit, City Limits. The opening reception is on Friday, April 13, 6:30-9:00

This is a painting of that moment of gathering, when the previous wave is starting to go out and the new wave is coming in. It is that place in time just before everything breaks loose.

Evening in NYC. During a rain most people are looking to get home or just inside somewhere. Anyone out and about is hunkered under an umbrella and looking down at the pavement to avoid those lakes that form at intersections. It is at these times that I find myself virtually alone, constantly looking up and out. I'm usually soaked and my biggest concern is keeping my camera relatively dry. I am most proud to proclaim that I do not have sense enough to come in out of the rain.

Taking a break from the City to paint what's actually around me. Ironic because one of the reasons that I moved to the country was to paint landscapes. So, back to my roots.

When ever we stay in New York we try to stay in a certain hotel. We also try to stay in certain rooms because of their view. On this particular trip I spent an inordinate amount of time photographing the skyline from the hotel window. No, I didn't see a show.

It's a good thing that my wife doesn't really like the window seat or I'd be out of a job. This is the scene that was out my window as we were taxiing out to the runway at Sea-Tac International Airport (Seattle-Tacoma). I was struck by how colorful the tarmac was. More to come.

"Morning Drive" refers not to pulling over on my way to work to take photographs of something spectacular. No. It might if I could get up a little earlier so that I wasn't rushing to work each morning. "Morning Drive" refers to my horrible habit of wanting to have it all. I want to sleep a little later AND take photographs. I can't tell you how many shocked faces that I encounter in on-coming traffic as they watch me driving with my left hand and take pictures, with a full bodied SLR camera, with my right. To paraphrase Tom and Ray (Click and Clack for those in the know) "Don't drive like, well, me!"

Great year for clouds. This is an area near my house that I pass on my way back from the local farm stand. I didn't have my camera (bad) but I did have my iPhone (good).
