Notes from New York - The High Line


I walked the length of the highline twice - once during the day and once at night. It has "grasslands"(shown above), trees, seating areas, sun decks - with rolling sunbeds on the old train tracks, and covered spaces as it takes you through old buildings. After dark the lighting makes it a completely different experience. At night my friends and I used it as a vantage point to watch the Fashion Week melee in the streets of the Meatpacking district below us.

Notes from New York - Show at Stricoff Fine Arts

It's amazing how much smaller my paintings look when they are in a gallery space. This is the view as you enter the Stricoff gallery. The opening was hopping! It happened to coincide with all the other start-of-the season art openings in Chelsea and the opening of New York Fashion Week which was happening in the nearby Meatpacking district. There were people everywhere, gallery included. I had a lot of fun!
