"New York State of Mind" and "NYC Street" Go To New Home

"New York State Of Mind," 40"h x 30"w in its new home

Because last Wednesday was packed full, I postponed this post about a very special delivery. Two of my New York City paintings found their way to new walls that evening. Randy and I helped pick the spot, but my job was easier. "New York State of Mind" and "NYC Street" are both large paintings ... and with the frames, hard on Randy to hold up to try spot after spot.

Barbara and George treated us to drinks and hors d'oeuvres and a warm welcome before the heavy lifting got underway. With visiting, snacking, figuring out where to hang the pieces and actually hanging them, we were there for quite awhile. Our hosts must have been ready for us to get out of there so they could have dinner (I'd eaten right before with the poker club -- see Wednesday's post) ... but they were too kind to shoo us.

The reason two paintings were delivered is because we'd brought both of the pieces over a few months back to help make the choice between the two easier. It didn't.  "New York State of Mind" and "NYC Street" both looked equally fantastic there ... and the decision was to purchase not one, but two.

It was a fun night. They are terrific pieces that fit their new owners and new home to a "t."

Today, I'm still packing and actually did some shopping for the Wayne Pleir Air painting trip. Lots more to do.
