The Palace Theater, which is pictured on the left hand side of the canvas, is no longer a dignified old building. When I began this work it was somewhat shabby, but it was a comfortable and friendly-scaled building and fit into this area. Shortly afterwards it was renovated, and now it looks just like a huge movie palace on a street filled with towering glass buildings and huge billboards. I am so glad that TK’s still has its spot on the triangle, but I would no longer want to sit and paint on any of the street corners there.
