Park Slope Brownstones

When I think of Brooklyn, brownstones come to mind.  They aren’t the predominate architecture for all of Brooklyn, just the parts south of the Brooklyn Bridge extending up to the West Side of Prospect Park.  In other areas you are more apt to find converted warehouses, Victorian mansions or just regular homes.  But there’s something about the Brownstone communities that really define Brooklyn. 

Brooklyn is essentially a large string of neighborhoods.  Not as congested as Manhattan, it managed to be quiet populace (if counted separate from New York, it would be the fourth largest city in the country).  What strikes me as amazing is that this many people can live together, next to each other in relative harmony.

This mini needlepoint painting shows brownstones in Park Slope just as the leaves began to gain color.  A small piece, it sits in a 4.5"x5.75 frame.  Full of color, it captures the essence of the season.

You can find this in my Etsy store.
