| Store at the Corner of High and Genesee Oil on Canvas 30 x 40 |
I've been working on this studio piece for the last month or so. It's a little bit tighter than how I usually work, but overall I'm please with the result. The history of 630 High Street in Buffalo is really cool. It was rebuilt in 1911 after the original J.M. Brecker and Compay burned down. The new store on the East Side purported to be thoroughly modern. As an interesting side note - the silent partner in this store was a bowling on the greens world champion and had a popular song about the sport. The building is currently on the city's demoliton list. This painting will be on display at the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society October - December 2010 along with some great historical articles and pictures related to the site.
