Harlem

I spent some time drawing in the fish market, and this little boy and his mother were two of the highlights. He was excited to be in my drawing because he loved to draw himself. He showed me a number of pictures on his cell phone that he was planning to draw at home. He got so excited, in fact, that he sat down next to me to draw the lobster tank right there.

Chinatown

There's always something exciting happening in Chinatown. From the fish markets to the bakeries, there are a million people bustling around, jostling, shopping, drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, and more. Here's a view through a bakery window at some egg custards and coconut tarts, yum!

Post more! No, really!
But just before we look ahead, I'm taking us back, back, back to Paris!

Carousel!



I wanted to capture the magic of the amusement park, and more specifically, the dizzying fun of a carousel ride.

Angel of the Waters, Central Park


The fountain in the "heart of Central Park" commemorates the 1842 opening of the Croton Aqueduct, which was the first dependable supply of pure water in New York City. The original pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem was said to have had healing powers.
I was going more for the feeling of the fountain and Central Park rather than a straight forward drawing, although I tried to keep the original reason for the fountain in mind.
