A couple of days ago we made a two-day trip to New York City, walked to Times Square around midnight, and ran across this sidewalk artist.
I assume this qualifies as “plein air” painting. Or “plein Times Square” painting. Maybe “plein midnight sidewalk” painting. In any case, it’s good to know that New Yorkers have a place to draw.
I assume you probably have to get a permit to set up like this at Times Square, but if not, I’ll see if some of the regulars from our Tuesday night drawing group would like to hop on over there for a midnight drawing session.

| I didn’t have time to draw during our two-day NYC adventure, but I did manage to do one drawing of a sleeping passenger on the flight back to New Mexico. |

Speaking of Plazas, I’d like to replace the obelisk in the Santa Fe Plaza with at least one of these. |
