TIME FRAME: Up to 1 week to paint and another 2 weeks for drying as I work with oil paints.
Manhattanhenge, also inaccurately called the Manhattan Solstice, is an event during which the setting sun or the rising sun is aligned with the east–west streets of the main street grid of Manhattan, New York City. The astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has said that he coined the term, by analogy with Stonehenge. The sunsets and sunrises each align twice a year, on dates evenly spaced around the summer solstice and winter solstice. The sunset alignments occur around May 28 and July 13. The sunrise alignments occur around December 5 and January 8.
Manhattan is a particularly remarkable place to view a phenomenon of this kind, due to its extensive urban canyons and its rectilinear street grid that is rotated 29° clockwise from true east-west. Excellent places for viewing Manhattanhenge include 14th, 23rd, 34th, 42nd and 57th Streets.
Cityscape art is my favorite topic. As of my childhood, I loved to watch the city as my father was driving. I was always fascinated by the light reflections as I squint my eyes and everything around me became blurred while I focused my sight on the cars and their reflections. After many years, I have decided to paint my observations and I consider this as my best artwork so far.
It could be a great gift to a man for his office or studio.
Please note the colors might differ depending on your monitor settings. I made the pictures at the daytime inside my studio and they change depending on the light.
