About

This painting so beautifully captures the wonderful stretch of Park just off of 5th Avenue, between 69th and 72nd streets. Varriano takes great joy in the contrast of the brilliant organic blossoms in the foreground and the geometric linear buildings in the background.

He has chosen that time of early afternoon when the sun is high and the natural colors of the subject ring like a noontime bell. This is a painting that reflects an artist who has made himself one with nature and the application of paint is a tour de force of free, spontaneous, plen air painting.
