Charles Ford's work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of the City of New York. Another wonderful painting by Charles Ford that shows the great lighting and shadows of New York City's buildings. When viewing this original painting, you get a sensational feeling for the city and the time of day this painting was created by taking in Mr Ford's wonderful use of cast shadows. His "City Paintings" have a very realistic color palette, very true to life. His colors aren't exaggerated and distorted so that they do not become the subject of the canvas, his imagery becomes the subject, and his true to life color and expert technique capture the viewers attention.
