I grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and lived in Manhattan for many years. There are many things I love about New York City including the arts, the energy, and the ever changing landscape. While walking along the High Line one day, I took a picture of a particularly beautiful building with windows looking out over the river.

While there is much I love about New York, there is nothing like coming home to the beauty of Connecticut where the landscape looks very different, and the trees play a starring role. This painting combines both city and country. The photo on the substrate shows the windows of that New York building. Sitting on top of that are five slats with a divided photo of a Connecticut tree.
