“Park Avenue en Blu”
I worked for a number of months on the 18th floor of this uptown Park Avenue apartment. The view is looking downtown (south) toward the Met Life Building and Grand Central Terminal. The view was exhilarating. There is something about certain scenes that compel an artist to want to paint. Its like your mouth watering when you walk into the aromas of a fine restaurant. You can’t wait to sit down, place an order, get served and dive in! I sure took on a lot of detail in that endeavor! I’m glad I did.
Park Avenue is a wide boulevard that carries north and southbound traffic in New York City borough of Manhattan. The flowers and greenery in the median of Park Avenue are maintained by the Fund for Park Avenue. Begonias are a flower of choice for the Funds gardeners because there is no automatic watering system and they can cope with hot sun.
In the 1920s the portion of Park Avenue from Grand Central Station to 96th Street saw extensive apartment building construction. This long stretch of the avenue contains some of the most expensive real estate in the world.
