Hoff, "Goodbye," oil on panel, 2009

Although landscapes have occupied the majority of my time these last months of pandemic, cities and the life of the street still catches my interest.
In a city street life happens everywhere. People meet and part, hurry and loiter, aloof or engaging, and the world swirls and eddies around them. An artist can capture the moment. Cities comprise all of mankind's foibles and failings as well our heroism and selflessness. We humans reach the heavens with our arts and our buildings and plumb the sewers with our stupidity and our trash. Beauty and ugliness compete. The human comedy plays on.
