looking for a portrait of Grand Army Plaza

Anyone know where I can purchase a portrait or painting of Grand Army Plaza? I would like to frame it and hang it in my brownstone’s hallway.

I’ve bought prints of his sketches/watercolors of Brooklyn architecture from James Anzalone(via Etsy). He’s got one of GAP: http://www.parkslopesketch.blogspot.com/2011/08/grand-army-plz.html.

I have a painting of grand army plaza by a local artist that I found in an art gallery. Mine is way too large to hang in a brownstone hallway. If you want an actual painting, rather than a print, perhaps you could commission a small painting from a local artist you find whose work you like.

A Park Slope artist (and former gallery owner) named Bob Weiss paints detailed and beautiful cityscapes, many of the neighborhood and nearby. (We bought a small painting years ago, a high-altitude view across Grand Army, because the windows of the apt we lived in at the time were visible in a corner.) I’d look him up, see what you think.

Ever heard of google? You’ll find a number of places that have prints https://www.google.com/#q=grand+army+plaza+print

It might not be your “style” but I remember seeing this by chance a few weeks ago. [](http://taewonyu.tumblr.com/post/2975452607/waking-up-to-snow-park-slope-brooklyn “Grand Army Plaza”)http://taewonyu.tumblr.com/post/2975452607/waking-up-to-snow-park-slope-brooklyn
