I did this as an Xmas gift for my daughter. She loves all things New York, and always wanted a piece of mine that is more of a drawing than one of my "weird" paintings.

I'm sure this will hang well on your daughter's wall, kurt

I love the rustic, sepia look of it. It's very warm and welcoming.

[Artguy]

Thanks LRod..warm and inviting is both how I feel about NYC and my child...

[Arcadia]

sepia, light-blue, black and brown... toc, toc...!

diversionary art. nicely done, kurt.

is it or will it be framed for her as part of the gift?

i almost can visualize the frame around this.

[Artguy]

I wrote a dedication on the back for my daughter...
May all the doors in your life open wide, if not knock harder.

[mtmynd]

That is a seriously funny dedication, Kurt! I may have to borrow that one in the future.

my dad doesn't paint, but he loves to make things with wood. he made me a wooden "riempie" bench more than a decade ago. it is still one of my favorite pieces of furniture in my house. she will love your painting.

[ps. riempie benches & chairs are classic and very common in south africa. riempies are strips of leather used to weave bench or chair seats. you get these furniture in a wide variety of woods and styles.]

love the warmth of this image, and love the dedication you wrote on it!

familiar in all ways.
