“Manhattan Blues” was painted in April of 2020 when the Covid Pandemic was at its worst in Manhattan. My beloved city, which I treasure for its typical flurry of activity and inspiration to my artwork, was in a total transformation.

The streets looked like a ghost town and I wanted to paint my memories of happier times with half painted figures in the streets in hopes and prayers that things would get back to normal.
