Corner of Thayer Street and Nagle Avenue, Inwood, Corner of Thayer Street and Nagle Avenue, Inwood, upper Manhattan, the heart of Dominican New York. A little kid stopped to watch me painting with the critical eye of a jaded gallerist, said "that's good" and walked off. A guy who grew up here told me how legendary this corner is, and a Mormon girl on her mission asked me if I wanted to go to church tomorrow (I declined; I paint on Sunday mornings)
