Gothic in New York

This is a favorite piece of mine.  The marble is especially beautiful.  I had recently been to Paris and was quite taken by the juxtaposition of old world and new world architecture.   I went looking for the closest example of old world that we have in New York and settled on St. Patrick's Cathedral.  This is the only view in which there is not a skyscraper in the background.  I have kept this one in my studio for myself, but now I am ready to share it with you.

Wall Street

Does New York have an "old city"?  About the closest we come is the southern tip of Manhattan.  Old maps outlining the location of the "wall" and the canals is all that remains of our early centuries. (Can I use that term when there is only four?)  This six marble piece is the result of a walk in that neighborhood two years ago.  Four of the images are from that area and two are from around 57th street.  Can you identify the sources?  Titled Wall Street it is now in a private collection, a print is available on the website.

V8's for Valentines

At my website

I'm a recent fan to motor racing. The televised coverage of such an exciting sport is truly remarkable.  The introduction of live mini cameras in all of the cars with drivers' views, forward and back, and of the the drivers themselves during the race puts you in the race more than any other sport can.  What I used to experience as watching relentless left turns now has audio between crew chiefs and drivers.  The discussion of strategy, pacing, pit timing and tire use are compared among teams.  I have a better understanding of the physical demands of driving a race car for 500 miles. 

St.Valentine's Day (Catholic School coming through there) is just 13 days away.  Last year I received a "gift" ride in a stock car racer.  I recommend it! Here's the link http://www.877stockcar.com/  For a quieter gift from gasoline alley try one of these images from my website and a few others, where you can get a print for the man cave.   Some are available framed.
