There is a magical short story that tells the tale of how (wait for it) the Chrysler Building falls in love with the Empire State Building and they run away and become lovers. Well – it could happen.
If indeed love affairs between buildings is possible, I would enjoy seeing the Garrick Theater and the Golden Heart tavern get together and walk off into a Nicholas-Borden-painted sunset.
His work evokes feelings of wild imaginings and beating-heart optimism. The colors, the humane
pulse of the images, the uncluttered visions — this is phenomenal work.

I am so grateful for this discovery. (and I especially love the paintings that peer down into the bowl of the Terminal — how each person is given a protective surrounding of white, so we can notice and value every one as individuals. Wonderful.)

Thank you, GA !
