This is a window from a building on 23rd Street and Third Avenue in NYC. I have always had an appreciation for architectural details especially when properly lit. Of course, everything looks better when you're properly lit.

Humidity in NYC is horrible, but it makes for great subject matter.

During my last trip to NYC this is what I had to traverse to get my salmon fix. Actually this is what was in front of me I just walked around it. For those of you who have never been here, this is Russ & Daughters, purveyors of the finest Gaspe Salmon (not too smoky, not too salty) in the City.

This scene reminds me of the Southwest, at least the lower half of the painting. The upper half is all New Jersey.

This is a scene approaching Philadelphia from New York. I loved the feeling I got from looking up and out onto the the train yards from underground and wondering what's over the ridge.

This scene reminds me of a job I had a lifetime ago in Jersey City. I was a project manager for a mid-sized construction company. Driving to work each morning I was struck by the fact that nothing, I mean nothing was pretty, but everything was so damned interesting.

This is a building that I painted a short while ago. I have noticed this same building all along the tracks between New York and Philadelphia. Some are painted, like this one and some are the original brick. All of them have been modified to some degree, some more than others. It kind of reminds me of the suburban neighborhoods where I grew up.

As near as I can tell this is a cyclonic sorter, probably used for grain. No matter, I thought it would make a decent painting.
