Morningside Farmers' Market

Every Saturday from June through September there is a farmers' market at Morningside Park. I always see them setting up early Saturday morning as I bike to Central Park. On my way back, I usually stop to admire the display of colorful fruits and vegetables. There is always a table with berries, cherries and peaches and another with greens, root vegetables and squahes. I love the artful composition of colors, shapes and textures!

Autumn in Morningside Heights

The other evening, I walked down Morningside Drive and stopped to appreciate the view of Morningside Park with Central Harlem in the background. There is a great lookout near 116th St. which is elevated over the park and affords a sweeping view of Harlem and Morningside Park. Some of the leaves were starting to turn on the trees. This is my interpretation of the scene.

Dawn II

This is a second watercolor of the rising sun over Morningside Park. Here the full sun has risen over the treetops. I like to explore a theme through several paintings.
