Sorry I haven't posted in awhile...I have been focusing on my Facebook fan page and finding someone to rebuild my website.About this piece. I grew up in Connecticut and spent a large amount of my life on the Sound. My fathers family came to New York when it was called New Amsterdam and my own mother first arrived in this country by boat in New York harbor. I only lived in the city for a year, but I went to school there and grew up with it being the place that my world revolved around.
Today, I got worried that I was going to forget the way it's supposed to look. I don't have photographs of the skyline from the water, just memories. In my mind's eye I still see them, a perfect counter balance to the mass of midtown. For those of us who remember, it will never look right again. I painted this for the way I feel about New York, for me it will always be a city suspended between sea and sky...filled with dreams.
