Courtyard at the Watcom

 Had a wonderful day visiting the Watcom Museum in Bellingham, WA . It seems there are 2 buildings, the historic City Hall and the much  newer Lightcatcher.  As we were leaving the sun coming through cast these great shadows caughing my eye.  I also was enamored with the fanciful bird sculpture sent in the center of the courtyard.

Courtyard at MoMA

Another in the NY series.
Was thinking it was the Whitney, which I love very much, but checking my references I see it was the Museum of Modern Art.

Will also try a black frame.

Foyer at the Mansion

While in Glen cove, L.I. last fall we stayed in one of the 5 Mansions that Pratt built for his sone. This one had been turned into a hotel.

Desoris Island, just a little North was called Morgan's Island when he lived there. Glen Cove is also home to the Woolworth Mansion and the now closed Russian Embassy.

I'm opting for the wider frame it seems to add a feeling of depth.
This is the 3rd in the New York series.

Homage to Kusama

Playing with circles and painting tulips for the start of spring I decided it was still lacking. So something I've had in my mind to do ever since I saw the Yayoi Kusama exhibit.  Paint Polka Dots.  It took 2 whole afternoons, but I think it helped.  Anyway, it was fun.

Interval

Next in the series of NY paintings,
You may recognize this as Lincoln Center.
I named it Interval for several reason.
1. it's a great musical term for the distance between 2 pitches.
2. Is a break in the performance, i,e, short intermission

Using the figures I was also poking fun at the activity of those standing around totally engrossed with their tiny phone screens immediately  after coming out of a larger than life Metropolitan Opera production.

Lost in Time

Something different from my trip to NY last fall and remembering all the earlier trips.
The building on the left is Carnegie Hall.
