Long Island City

On Saturday when we were going to the Museum of the Moving Image (see below) Susan and I left early to do a sketch in the area. The museum is on the border of Astoria and Long Island City. There is a spot that we pass in LIC on the way to the Queensboro Bridge that Susan always says, "We should sketch this view some day." LIC is a mostly industrial area and being a Saturday we were able to park fairly easily. This is about 5 x 8.

  2. What a great job you did on all those cars!! And too, I found myself marveling at the trees in front of the skywalk...With that orange behind them they look just as I imagine they would. A wonderful piece, Joan!!
