NEW YORK, NEW YORK©

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.
