Grab a Taxi.

Grab a Taxi
15x30  acrylic on gallery canvas
$800.

Today I wanted to share with you one of my most recent cityscapes. I finished a few new paintings in this series a couple of days before we were off to New York. These new works are heading out to a gallery soon and I'll be sure to post pics of them all with links as soon as delivery is confirmed. In the meantime, if you have any questions or need more info please feel free to drop me an email. I'm email friendly.

New York was a blast as usual. We were in NYC for a quick drive through last summer on our way to a wedding in Long Island. And then there was this trip a few years back when we stayed at The Plaza Hotel. 

 Oh New York!! There is soooo much inspiration in every inch of that city. We stayed at a small boutique hotel just off 5th Avenue and 56th Street. Chambers Hotel. It had excellent 'walkability' , a second floor mezzanine art gallery and library, and a Momofuku Milk Bar in the lobby. That was dangerous but oh so yummy. We also did alot of driving and visited different parts of the city. Of course I took a ton of photos so there will be future posts. Stay tuned.

The Plaza Hotel, New York.


It's time to escape and take a vacation in a first class hotel. Ok, that's not going to happen for awhile, so I'll just have to remember the fabulous two nights we spent at The Plaza in New York city last August. The Plaza, built in 1907, sits on the corner of 5th Avenue and 59th St. and has a very rich history.


Our room was very opulent. A mix of high end, over the top luxury and the newest technology. There was a very large flat screen, wall mounted television, and a "James Bond" style control panel at the door.

The Bathroom was all marble and gold and was larger than our kitchen here. There was a private shower and separate water closet.


And the comfiest towels, bathrobes and slippers for us to use. Our room even came with a butler (yes, a butler).


It was the absolute best stay in New York, and yes, now I'm spoiled as far as hotel stays go. You can see more photos of my New York trip here, here, here and here.
