This painting features a view of the back of the apartments on North Avenue, in Cranford. It's kind of depressing looking in real life, but I wanted to focus on what one section could look like, with a warmer touch, that some residents have added.

I also like the old looking fire escapes that the residents use as their entrance. It reminds me of the depression era of life in the 1930s. I’ve been working on this theme for quite some time now and hope some of the larger ones will workout soon.

Many sketches and attempts lately, but I feel I’m refining what I want to express and explore here. This particular one will be featured in an upcoming group show at The Art Framer's Slice Of Life show, in March.
