I have this painting in a signed and numbered edition. Love it. The detail is awesome, I can look at it for hours and always find something new.

Artist Reply: Wow,Thank you; I'm glad you are enjoying it the way you are. it was what I had intended when I painted this scene. I constructed a number of vignettes throughout the painting to keep people interested in and continually able to find new things in this work. My favorite vignette f this work is 44th St. where the Algonquin Hotel and the Algonquin Club stand. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come.

We ahve this hanging over our fireplace in the living room. I love the detail. I can stare at it for hours looking at all the fine elements!! One of these day I need to purchase your other great urban scenes, especially the ones that feature trolleys and Rapid transit.

Incredible work and water color. Quite excellent and beautiful! My PoD!

Artist Reply: Thanks, Stefani. This work was exceptionally challenging. The scene at the far left of the painting depicting 42nd St. turned out exceptionally well and was a whole lot of fun to do.
