TEXTURE

This was my favourite subway station in New York.

So many different textures here.

I wanted to cut out pieces of the wall and frame them.

Plaster, concrete, tiles, signs, dirt, paint, chipping paint, grey, blue, white?, black, yellow, orange.

You should have seen me trying to sneak pictures and not look like a tourist.

What camera? Didn't get many pictures. I know - silly!

So thanks to my friend Andrew for taking care of that for me!

FROM THE F TRAIN BACK TO THE RAIN

Just got back from an amazing week! Nyc is always good to me. My only problem with going there is that i don't ever want to leave. Driving back from the airport last night noticing how green vancouver is, that's what we get from all that rain; cleanliness and green grass. This is lovely in the summer, but i am not inspired to paint green grass. I am inspired by the stone, the tiles, the brick, the dark streets, the glowing lights, the trains and the sounds of the subway, the chipping paint, the different heights of the buildings, the shadows, the signs, the bridges . . .

more pics to come.
