Temptation on Water Street, Moody c. 1940s Large Framed Watercolor Street Scene bread smart piece that I think

smart piece that I think I would never tire of looking at

which is just fun to do--I'd invent games to play with it

with a couple of very small holes along the sides

I would hang this on the wall just as I've documented it

it something we could all use right about now

Temptation on Water Street, Moody c. 1940s Large Framed Watercolor Street Scene bread smart piece that I thinkI found this one in an antique store a bit north of Albany, NY and fell in love with its formal execution and the Hopper esque sense of urban solitude and longing it evokes; the quiet drama of internal deliberations amplified by the emptiness of city streets. I have not taken it out the frame to see if it is signed, but clearly it dates to the 1940s or so (as the old framer's sticker confirms) and perhaps our man in overalls is wandering the streets
