Photo Friday - The City

Now this one was easy, but hard at the same time. There are two cities I have visited that have made an impact on me, and i love both of them! So for this Photo Friday submission I will post not one but two pictures that capture the topic for me.

The first city is Boston, Massachusetts.......

(picture taken towards the Charles River from the 42nd floor of my sister's office building)

My older sister, Cheryl, has lived up in Boston for probably the last 9 or 10 years now. I try to visit atleast once every year, not only to visit her but to visit the city. Living down here in flat Florida has its beautiful sides (the beach, warm weather, small town that ive grown up in) but there is just something about big cities, big buildings, and lots of people and things to do that I can't get enough of.

The second city is New York City, New York......

(picture taken in Times Square)

New York is one of those cities that you have to visit atleast once in your lifetime. There are just soo many people and soo many buildings and sights to take in. I love the hustle and bustle of this city, but I'm not quite sure if I would be able to handle living there full time. It really is an amazing place.

I miss both of these cities very much!

Illustration Friday - 'Open' - Gallery Edition

acrylic on ready to hang canvas - 12" x 16"

well i am back in to the illofriday swing of things. when i heard about the possibility of it hanging in a gallery, i couldnt pass up submitting something. after hearing the topic was open, this idea popped into my head and i immediately started to create it. to me it portrays what more people should do nowadays, open their mind to new ideas and new possibilities that those ideas may bring. enjoy.
