I Just Love this Painting. It's by Harrison Cady and was done in 1935. I'd love to have a big old poster of it, I could look at it for hours.
It's like a Looney Tunes poster. cool.

I have a framed poster that I love. I saw it in New York a few years ago and managed to find it in the Library of Congress online store. It's this one:

Mulberry Street on the Lower East Side, taken in 1901. Like your painting, I can look at it for hours and never tire of it. I look at the pregnant woman in the foreground, the one with her head turned away, and wonder if she had a son or a daughter, and how that child's life turned out. Everyone in that photo is now dead.

I love that Mulberry Street photograph too.

One of my favorite things is a crazy, detailed cityscape by Mark Anthony Mulligan. (About fifteen years ago he gave a sheaf of them to a friend of mine, who insisted on buying him a meal in exchange. Mine's nicer than any of the ones I can find online.)

It's the first thing people see when they come over, and often they stop and look at it for a while before coming in.

I need some new music. The old is all worn out in my brain. || The citizens of Vancouver are revolting.
