Why Ithaca? Why upstate New York, you may ask. My son was going to college there until May of 2020, when he graduated amid COVID19 pandemic.
For several years in a row I've been visiting Upstate New York (Ithaca and surrounding areas) and aside of my family matters I had many opportunities to paint there as well.
I was inspired by night lights.
