City versus Country Mouse
I always describe myself as a City Mouse. My childhood home was in NJ, 20 miles outside of NYC. My college was in a City in mid-Jersey. and then I lived in Philadelphia, Chicago, San Diego and San Antonio prior to moving to New York City 25 years ago. I love drawing in cities, and almost never want to draw a landscape. We were at a wedding in NY State, approximately 80 miles north of the City, this past weekend, and I forced myself to paint the view from the back deck of the home we stayed in. Today I'm posting an ink drawing from the NW corner of Bryant Park, and the landscape that I painted in Callicoon NY.
