Caught In The Geometry Of Boylston Street Canvas Print

Did you ever have an image that you just loved but couldn't quite explain why? This one from the streets of Boston fits that bill for me. I ordinarily wouldn't approach anything architectural with my fisheye lens. Street scenes, yes, anything that I want to give exaggerated curves too, of course!

Now that you've seen it this way, can you imagine this moment with just cold architectural lines? All glass and steel and no flesh?

Life is full of happy surprises. After just over a decade working in the 9 to 5 cube world, I threw caution to the wind to follow my dreams of being a full time visual artist.

My artwork also hangs on walls near and far from private homes to businesses who have chosen to decorate with my art. Whether you've purchased one piece or a house full or you simply admire and share with your friends, your patronage of my art is...
