5 O'Clock Shadow
36x40 inches
Oil
Last Saturday I had a delightful studio visit with a lovely couple who had seen samples of my paintings in the neighborhood and were fans. We spent 2 hours going through the racks, pulling out paintings to consider. I shared stories about each one and they in turn, being native New Yorker's, had stories to share as well about growing up and living in New York. This 1987 painting is the one they ultimately chose. I came up with this title as it referred to the time of day, the shadow cast on the Met Life building and the thought of some worker's 5 o'clock facial shadows at the end of the workday. I'm thrilled that it is going to a good home where I hope it will be enjoyed for many years to come.
