"Blue, Red, Yellow #2" is an evocative watercolor painting that vividly captures a bustling urban street scene on Church Street in New York City. This artwork brings to life a lively city block, teeming with the day-to-day activities that characterize a vibrant neighborhood. The painting is particularly notable for its detailed depiction of storefronts, each brimming with character and color. The scene is animated with multiple people walking on the sidewalk, each rendered in a style that captures the dynamic motion and diverse expressions of city dwellers. A red car parked along the street adds a splash of color that ties back to the title of the painting, reinforcing the theme of primary colors that thread through the composition. In the background, the urban environment is skillfully portrayed with brick buildings featuring fire escapes that cast intricate shadows on the buildings and awnings below. This element not only adds depth to the painting but also enhances the textural contrast between light and shadow, contributing to the overall atmospheric quality of the scene.

Part of the New York Street Series, this watercolor painting captures a nostalgic piece of American history: the Howard Johnson's restaurant once located at 1551 Broadway in the heart of Times Square. The scene depicts the iconic restaurant beneath the bright theatrical signs of Broadway shows "STOMP" and "CHICAGO," preserving a moment in time when this historic chain still graced New York's entertainment district. Howard Johnson's, fondly known as "HoJo's," was once America's largest restaurant chain, pioneering the franchise concept that revolutionized the American dining industry. In its heyday during the 1960s and 1970s, the chain boasted nearly 1,000 locations across the country, each marked by their distinctive orange roofs. The restaurants were famous for their 28 flavors of ice cream, fried clams, and signature hot dogs served in grilled butter-brushed buns. This Times Square location was one of the last Howard Johnson's restaurants in operation, representing the final chapter of a brand that helped define American roadside dining for over seven decades. From its humble beginnings as a drugstore soda fountain in 1925 to becoming a nationwide phenomenon, Howard Johnson's holds a special place in American cultural history. This painting preserves the memory of this once-mighty restaurant chain, capturing its final years amid the bright lights of Broadway, before its eventual closure in 2005.

“DUMBO 12” is a watercolor painting portraying a building façade with a mix of architectural elements. Linear stonework creates a textured surface, punctuated by a series of horizontal lines that emphasize the structure’s geometry. A window in the composition casts a distinct triangular shadow onto the adjacent building, while a segment of brickwork on the left side offers an intriguing contrast in materials. Through careful attention to perspective and the interplay of light and shadow, the piece achieves notable depth and highlights the harmonious balance of shapes that typifies this Brooklyn neighborhood’s industrial-meets-modern aesthetic.
