September 2020helloMy obsession with old-fashioned lamp posts began a few summers ago when I travelled to New York to perform at Carnegie Hall with my orchestra.
helloAs we toured the city, I was intrigued by the ornate cast iron lamp posts I saw everywhere. Some still had a ladder rest from a time when street lights were lit by gas lamp lighters.
helloNow, I look for unique lamp posts wherever I travel, whether they’re around the Plaza de Armas in Cusco, by the Dred Scott Courthouse in St. Louis, or on the Westminster Bridge in London. This fascination is what led me to paint a lamp post, myself.
