In the summer of 2022, artists John Dyer and Joanne Short took a short trip to New York City. The paintings they created during their time feature the iconic New York skyline and capture the essence of New York City in the summertime and winter. From the hustle and bustle of Manhattan to the tranquillity of Central Park, these paintings show off all that New York has to offer. If you're looking for a taste of NYC to hang in your home, these unique new paintings could be perfect for you.

New York City is a busy place. There's always something going on, whether people walking around or cars driving by. You can see the skyscrapers from far away; the Empire State Building towers above them. Central Park is a nice break from the city, with trees and lakes and benches to sit on. It's a great place to relax before heading back out into the hustle and bustle. Or maybe hire a bike and cycle around the park. Take a ferry from lower Manhattan to Staten Island and sail past the Statue of Liberty and under the Brooklyn Bridge or stroll around the city, past the Chrysler Building and Central Station.
