acrylic on canvas

I lived in Philadelphia only briefly decades ago, but in recent years I have had more than a few occasions to visit, thanks to the generosity of a local friend. I have taken advantage of those visits to sketch, paint and photograph various sites around the city. My paintings of South 9nth Street, the Italian Market’s main drag, are my most successful efforts to date to capture the essence of one of Philadelphia’s neighborhoods. I like the area’s historic status and distinct character: It looks impervious to the development that is so prevalent in much of the city these days. Although, there are indications that this neighborhood too will give way to new construction.
