The first line of Sinatra's song is
"Start spreadin' the news,
I'm leaving today
I'm gonna be a part of it:
New York, New York."
The song concludes with the line
"If I can
make
it
there,
I'll make it anywhere,
It's up to you, New
York, New York."
This is what our youngest daughter Anne
Fleur
must have been thinking while leaving for New
York's Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) three
years ago!
She loves the city.
This
painting is hanging at Fleur's apartment downtown
Manhattan.
Acrylic on a canvas panel
Dimensions:16"x20", [40.6x50.8 cm]
Painting doesn't need a frame.
