 SUMMER IN THE CITY






"Summer Day
on East 73rd
Street"  

 

It's really not so different painting on the streets of New York than painting at the seashore. Great shapes and colors and light effects can be found most anywhere. I was reminded of this when I drove into the city this August and was lucky enough to find a legal parking spot on a quiet, shady sidestreet. Rather than lug my easel across town to Central Park, I set it up right beside my car and did the quick oil sketch above -- looking east on 73rd between First and York. I'd like to come back and paint the same scene this winter.
