This I thought was a great piece. It was in a group show. Nice quaint little gallery that seemed to know what they were doing because they didn't let me take any photographs. However, giving them my e-mail address they were nice enough to send me this image that caught my eye while walking by. The business in the bottom center and the large voids of color else where really make my eye move through the piece in a pleasing way. Interesting color arrangement and was just nice to look at. Nothing else in the gallery had this much weight unfortunately.

This was my next marked show I wanted to hit while I was in NYC. It was a group show in a little cozy space. I was a bit worried it wouldn't be open since its website didn't give gallery hours. It was open though, thankfully, and I was able to see some interesting cityscape paintings. These are the highlights from the show. Some of them were just exact depictions of New York City skylines, others seemed to push for something else with the paint.
This one had just a nice geometric feel that I thought people might enjoy. Great Gatsby kind of way.
Riding the bus into NYC I had plenty of opportunity to see the loads of graffiti that's in NYC. Entire rooftops would be covered with tags. Going across on the bridges looking down, there looked to be an entire different community that was just hanging on these rooftops tagging every last square inch of the buildings. Some might not like the sight of it, but me I thoroughly enjoyed each new set of graffiti.
The above painting by the way is a watercolor. Don't ask me how it blows my mind. It was a great piece with just that nice washy watercolor feel. The cityscape of New York City is unreal sometimes.
