About the work

A closer look.

Name a place you can't get to, or one that isn't there anymore. I check it against the real record first: maps, the actual frame if a camera reached it, and the documented history if the place is gone. That first check is free and dated, and I post it in the open so you can check me back. If you want it painted, I paint one digital card from that frame or from the record, and I say plainly which one it was. You get the card, a short field note with the sources, and one revision. Recent, with receipts: Pennsylvania Station, New York. Opened 1910, torn down 1963-66 with Madison Square Garden dropped on the site. I never stood inside it, so I painted it from the Library of Congress photograph and told you so up front. The places I cannot reach, I still do not fake.
