THE DAILY URBAN LANDSCAPE #18 MARKET STREET - WILMINGTON DE

I will be in Wilmington today, and if time allows, will check out a new Jerry's Artarama store on Market St.  When I lived there, Market street had been converted to an urban mall, with no vehicular traffic, an experiment that was later abandoned.  When I visit now I have to adjust to this change, as well as many others since I painted this portrait of one block of Wilmington's "main street".

The elegant structure in the middle is the Grand Opera House, with its cast iron facade.  It was restored to its original beauty in the late 1970s and is a great venue for live music and theater.  My very first art show was in The Grand Gallery in 1977 located on the ground floor. (long since gone)
