Because of the chronic illnesses I live with I don’t travel well. So I use pictures I find to take me away. When I saw this photo of Manhattan, NY I loved the perspective and wanted to capture it. This is a 2′ x 3′ canvas with a gloss varnish to add to the ethereal feeling. When I was half done someone walked in a said “Oh, Manhattan!” You can imagine how happy I was that the city was that recognizable! I always imagined Manhattan to be the center of New York City’s activities hence the title … The Big Apple Core!
