Childhood Impression

When I was a teenager, I had a framed poster of Claude Monet’s, “House of Parliament at Sunset” on my wall.

This chalk drawing in McGolrick Park reminded me of that image.

It brought me back to when I confused Impressionistic  sunlight for fire.

Nassau Relief

This sandwich board hails from the best newish bar and restaurant in Greenpoint, Greenpoint Heights, appropriately named for it’s non-downtown Greenpoint location.  Besides a ton of great drinks, the food here is actually quite remarkable.

Sidewalk Chalked Trees

Sidewalk Chalk on trees is kind of an interesting take on the medium. That stuff doesn’t harm trees unless it’s repeated.  I don’t think that I would want drawing on trees with anything to catch on, but still, it was amusing when I saw these in McGolrick Park yesterday morning.
