This painting vividly captures a bustling New York City street at sunset, with the vibrant orange and red hues of the setting sun peeking through the tall skyscrapers that line the street. The scene is dominated by heavy traffic, with cars' headlights and taillights adding to the urban ambiance. The dark, imposing buildings frame the scene, emphasizing the contrast between the chaotic energy of the city and the serene beauty of the sunset. The artist's use of color and perspective creates a striking and dynamic portrayal of the city's daily life, drawing the viewer's eye toward the horizon and the fading light.

Wakefield's work is a unique blend of abstraction and realism, with a strong emphasis on colour. Her paintings are known for their bold, expressive brushstrokes and vibrant hues, which capture the energy and diversity of New York City.

The character of New York’s skyline and large residential districts is often defined by the skyscrapers, street scenes and elegant brownstone row houses, town houses, and shabby tenements that were built during a period of rapid expansion at the end of the 19th Century. Angela has now produced over 100 paintings of New York City in her New York Series. New York City’s five boroughs are home to some of the world’s most recognisable, cherished landmarks and attractions. Angela’s painting style perfectly encapsulates the mood of New York.

Angela Wakefield has twice been on the front cover of ‘Art of England’ and featured in ARTnews, attracting international attention and critical acclaim with her urban landscape paintings of New York, London & the North of England. The style of painting has been described as ‘Contemporary Realism’, and is often favourably compared with Edward Hopper by collectors and art critics. Angela’s work is held in private collections in Europe and the USA, including the British Royal Family. Her admirers include leading figures in international business, filmmaking and the media.
