Art in NYC
Good Morning everyone, digging back in to my archives for this post, after talking to a friend yesterday about my time in NYC and all the art there I was inspired to do this post.
Now as I have said probably far to many times I am a country boy at heart, and really didn't like the hustle and bustle of NYC, during the day, but I did enjoy early morning walks when not too many people are out and about, of course not to many is a relative term as they say NYC never sleeps and there are always some people out and about at any time of the day or night.
But one thing I did love about exploring the streets of the city was coming across the art all around the city and there is a lot of it and that's what I will share today some I came across, had photos of and I had not shared before.
MUch of the art is very colorful, this first one I share being a bit different a mono mural, with most of the rest being in color it makes this one stand out for me

now there is an artist who goes by the name of Kobra, whose work I loved and I made it a point to try and go visit all of his pieces around NYC, and one of my favorites is this piece of Mother Teresa and Ghandi
