New York City fire escapes are an interesting subject to paint, which happen to be an art form of their own. This painting is a corner of Broome and Mercer streets in Soho.
I’m offering for auction my recent 2008 group of 8 paintings representing my two favorite cities: New York and Miami. I'm pleased how the paintings turned out. I painted late evenings or very early mornings devoted of people and traffic to evoke the feeling of serenity and tranquility.
This painting represents two parts of New York city. The legendary Greenwich Village butcher on Bleecker Street - Ottomanalli & Sons and Gansevoort street of New York meatpacking district.
