Philly Alley Pink rainy day in New York

rainy day in New York City

I've been fascinated by the unspoken dialogue between storefront mannequins and passersby

and the dramatic cloud formation set a perfect mood

I moved to East Tennessee over five years ago and I remain captivated by the impressive thunderstorms that move through most summer afternoons

Philly Alley Pink rainy day in New YorkThis alley way off of Locust Street near Rittenhouse Square Park in Philadelphia always catches my eye whenever I visit the city. I cant explain the reason why I just like the configuration of the building shapes and the way that looking down the alley frames them. Ive wanted to paint this subject for many years and I finally caught this opportunity during a beautiful summer afternoon. The delightful cottonball clouds made this subject come to life
