NEW YORK, NEW YORK
y o u    c a p t u r e d   m y   h e a r t

We visited New York for the fist time this past May! I was an artist at the Licensing Trade Show, SURTEX, which in and of itself was fantastic>
....and THEN we took two full days touring this amazing city!! I took over 1,000 photographs and just had to create Art from my top 10 favorites! (I had to start somewhere!!!)

NY1: CENTRAL PARK

I could have stayed here all day....next time...

NY2: CENTRAL PARK FOUNTAIN

I could people watch here all day... a bride and groom (far right), proud graduates, people leisurely rowing boats, friends taking selfies :), people from all over the world, pausing to just enjoy life...how perfect. ​

NY3: "be fancy" HORSE IN CENTRAL PARK

I fell in love with all these beautiful fancy horses...Fun fact: By law, carriage horses must receive at least five weeks vacation every year. Is that awesome, or what??!!

NY4: HORSE IN CENTRAL PARK

I love this elegant looking cinnamon horse, just doing her job so well.

NY5: BROOKLYN BRIDGE

What a sight to behold...the Brooklyn Bridge.

NY6: STATUE OF LIBERTY

EVERYTHING looks better with a crown!!!

​The Statue of Liberty is just over 305 feet tall from the ground to the top of the torch flame. The crown has 25 windows and seven spikes. The seven spikes represent the seven seas and seven continents of the world. My next trip, I want to go inside the crown...how fantastically regal!!!

NY7: "peace, be still" HUDSON RIVER

Ahhh...so perfectly peaceful here on the Hudson River.

NY8: EMPIRE STATE BUILDING

​The Empire State Building NYC was named the 7th wonder of the world by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The 7th world wonder has attracted 120 million people to its New York observatories. That is nearly 3.6 million visitors a year! A cultural landmark as well as a New York landmark, the Empire State Building has been in more than 90 films, including North by Northwest, Annie Hall, and of course, King Kong.

NY9: WALKING IN THE RAIN ON 5TH AVENUE

The perfect Avenue to be walking in the rain, with the perfect umbrella...

NY10: THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

I could live here...me and my art supplies...
