Diner II
Brooklyn Diner is a New York institution with two locations in Manhattan and one at the Laguardia airport. Oddly enough, none in Brooklyn. Brooklyn Diner caters to New Yorkers, tourists, and celebrities. As seen in this sunny image there is no line so the patrons will be seated right away.
There’s more to this painting, though. I love people places and things so this is an assembly of those items. I also love landmark locations and the big Brooklyn sign helps with that. The cursive written sign, Brooklyn, is an artform in itself.
Colors abound in this painting. The watercolor media fit the bill to make this colorful, recognizable and complete with patrons waiting to be seated.
This painting is a companion the the painting, Diner, which resided in the “start” pile since 2016 on my visit to NYC until complete in 2021 . This version compelled me so that I couldn’t resist the pull of the sign, the sun and the patrons. I’m glad that I didn’t resist.
