Our trip to the USA brought new ideas and wonder to my art world. This painting of Conservatory Waters nestled in Central Park NY was alive with wonderful inspiration and beautiful settings for any artist. I would have been happy to have sat there all day just sketching all the sights and scenery, but we had limited time and were constantly on the move to try and get the most of this concrete jungle.
This painting is a late afternoon view as we approached Conservatory Waters on the south east side of Central Park. Most of you will recognise it from a few movies which were shot there such as 'Home Alone 2', 'Stuart Little', 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', Kramer vs Kramer to name a few. I loved the way the sun was catching the sides of the buildings and casting wonderful orange reflections in the water of the pond.

Do you ever hold solo exhibitions, Debbie! Your work is excellent!
Beautifully done, Debbie. Never been there myself but your painting does represent the city well.
Hi Marie, thank you for your reply. I have never had a Solo exhibition.. didn't think I was experienced or consistent enough... I am still in my emerging stage!!! haha.
Thank you Carol, I'm pleased you see 'The Big Apple' represented here. It was an awe inspiring place!
This is SO lovely. I've never been to New York. It looks wonderful! I love the way you have done the water - It looks so real :0)
A beautiful painting Debbie - the reflections are wonderful and it's so reminiscent of New York. I've only spent a day there, but from movies and photos...very NYC, you make me want to go back now!
Lovely painting, Debbie. I love the reflections in the water. You have captured the peace and quite of this beautiful spot.Congratulations!
Beautiful work Debbie! I really love those reflections, and the color is fabulous too :)
Wow Sandra, Cathy, Anna, and Crystal, I'm blown away with your wonderful replies....I must say that the reflections were the thing I was least happy with. I was working on hot press, not my usual 300gsm rough. I didn't like the way the paper left terrible watermarks and dried far to quickly for my liking. I paid a fortune for this sheet of Archers!!!!!! Thank you each and all!
Hi Debbie, this is the first time I've been to your blog and I'm glad I found it. I think you should be very happy with the reflections in this painting. They are wonderful.
This is awesome Debs, and so beautifully done! You're a master of landscapes! Solo exhibition definitely on the cards. Is this a new blog format...? It's looking great!

Maree, many thanks. A master of landscapes is far from the truth... need a bit more practice, but loved doing this.
Melissa, thanks for your lovely message, glad you recognised this setting. You are blessed to be able to visit Central park and enjoy the scenery.
How lovely of you to leave me your kind words Cathy. I appreciate your time.
Martine, you are always such a honey, I'm chuffed that you like this one.... and welcome back. Your watercolour was really wonderful for someone who is not used to them. Thank you!
