NY State of Mind
original watercolor cityscape: 6"w x 8 1/2"h
“It’s Raining, It’s Pouring....
Sophie and I were bored
As we peered out the back door
And had to acknowledge
The steady downpour
We put on our thinking caps
Our imagination soared!
Hmm, I know,
The Strasburg Railroad goes
To Paradise and back
A short scenic trip
Where Amish farms sit
Sophie said, “No!”
We’ve already seen that
Let’s go to New York
Via Lancaster’s Amtrak
We’ll walk up Fifth Ave
Take in all the sights
We do wish “Les Mis”
Was playing The Shubert tonight
We’ll visit Times Square
With bright neon lights
On tall buildings everywhere..
We quickened our step
We really must get
Ourselves to the Met
For a fabulous new show
Everything's just great there, you know
The day was soon gone
We made our way back
To Grand Central Station
Our memories intact
This mini- vacation
Was great stimulation
The ride home so relaxing
We spent the time happily
Dozing and napping...

Gorgeous. Your palette is always vibrant. And I've learned the verticle orientation really helps create excitement, so it's perfect for this scene. Sounds like you had a great time! Hurray for spontaneity!
What a marvelous day for you and Sophie! Love this painting with its sense of action, and all of its glorious color!
