New York, New York

Last week, I spent the day in Manhattan with my
grandkids. First, we went to The American
Girl Store, then the Nintendo Store. We later
went to the Central Park Zoo. We decided
to take the subway there because we were too
tired to walk (Okay! I was too tired!)
This painting, believe it or not, was pretty
complicated for me.. I almost gave up
on it , but now I'm glad that I finished it.

    Oh yes it looks complicated. Such works requires one just to keep pushing and not give up. And thank God that you did not. It is lovely.

    Great painting Hilda. Yes, it does look complicated with the perspective of the city behind. Lots of detail, but beautifully done. Good thing you stuck with it. Sounds like a great day with the grandkids!

    Great job on the perspective, Hilda. I like that all the background is in grays, and the focal point is in color. Well done!

    I think it would be very difficult to paint with all the vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines. Great job!

    Hi SUE...It was definitely a nightmare. I still wonder why I painted this...but, it was something different! thank you for your nice comment.!

    Hi VIRGINIA! thank you for commenting on my painting..I appreciate it so much!

    Hi DOUG! thank you for your nice comment!! I don't think I will do this kind of painting again. Like you said, too difficult with all the vertical and diagonals !

    Hi Hilda,

    Wow! I think this had to be a very hard painting with the perspective, the windows, and the lines going every which way. Well done, and good for you for sticking with it.
