From the Artist: I have always enjoyed my time in cities so I present very colorful moods. New York and Chicago both have their iconic skyscrapers visible from their waterfront. This inspired me to work with variations of night sky with the skyscrapers with different colors and textures.

New York is done in spirits of a "Crowning Glory" . The choice of colors, the moon peeking through clouds and the crown altogether give me a fairy tale version of New York. Chicago, with different color palette of the evening gives me a feel of sensuous dusky evening! So here we are ... dating the skyscrapers in evening with two very different moods!

From the Painting Guide: I don't know how many cities you've been to, but you've definitely got the beginning of a series here!
