Okay - I haven't managed to put that paintbrush down yet. I'm determined to get in my car, first thing in the morning, and get on with that road trip. Really ~ I will.

Seeing this image of the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange - just about every minute of every day, on the news channels, in the paper, as I close my eyes to go to sleep - I picked this timely subject for the newest challenge on my blog Different Strokes From Different Folks. The other paintings submitted so far are great - take a look.

"Wall Street"

I'm winding up the alphabet series, with W for Wall Street - smack dab in the center of the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange. What an experience it was to watch and photograph this place - constant motion, frenzied activity starting as soon as that bell dings - then it all calms down as hundreds of men (and a few women) have done what they came to do, with nothing left but paper strewn all over the floor and discussions of what's for lunch are heard throughout the massive room. Awesome place.
