November Afternoon in Central Park

Last weekend, we enjoyed a long walk through Central Park. The weather was relatively mild and when the sun peaked out, the foliage looked brilliant against the NYC skyline. I particularly enjoyed the warm red, yellow, and orange leaves glowing in the sun.

Fall Moon

Last Sunday, my husband and I took a walk in Central Park around 4pm. We were not prepared for the sun to set around 4:30pm! Turning around, we headed back home and saw a full moon shining through the trees. It looked so large and luminous against the near-barren tree branches. I sketched this vision after arriving home and then created this piece using gouache-painted paper.

Upper West Side Sunset in Fall

Nearly every evening, I peer out of our window and watch the sun dip beneath the buildings on the Upper West Side. Lately, the fall sunsets have been spectacular. The sky is illuminated with deep orange tones. Set against the darkened buildings, the scene is striking. I used gouache-painted and color-aid paper to create this collage.

Miami Sunset

I had the good fortune to travel to Miami earlier in the month and was swept away by the beautiful turquoise waters, breathtaking sunrises and sunsets and lively palm trees. This piece shows a sunset over the beach. I conveniently left out the rows of condos and luxury high rise hotels that line the coast. Thankfully when you sit with your back to it, you have an amazing view of the open ocean!
