These street scenes and city scenes art prints are a collection of artwork that offer smaller vignettes of cities. They feature glimpses of buildings and brief moments of the fleeting lives of the people who are the life blood of the city. These city scenes art prints range from big cities to small towns. These streets scenes could be crowded or empty, but there’s always a vivid sense of place and mood. There is sometimes a sense of being there even while looking at these prints in your own living room.
As much as I love rural landscapes, I have an equal affection for the built environment. They are two sides of the human experience. I hope you’ll enjoy your time spent browsing the artwork on display here. I consider this a beautiful collection of wall art whether you have been to the places depicted or just love people-watching and architecture.
It’s funny how a piece of art can find its own path as this Forsyth Park artwork did. When I first envisioned this rainy artwork, I thought there would be a small figure or two nearer the famous Victorian fountain. As I worked on it, I decided the distant fountain on its own was a…
I’ve read that the Paris Metro subway system opened in 1900 and is the second busiest subway in Europe behind only Moscow. This may explain why I was constantly lost! But forgetting being lost for just a moment, what I most love about the Paris Metro is the unique style of its signage and the…
If you’re looking for an eye-catching British print, there’s no question that this London Telephone Box print fits the bill. This particular piece of art is far and away my most popular for a simple reason. It connects with people. It connects with Anglophiles and others who love all things British. But what is more…
There are some places that simply capture the imagination in a short time. I had less than a day in Puebla, Mexico. It was mainly an overnight stop between Mexico City and Oaxaca, but after only a few moments wandering the Spanish Colonial streets of Puebla, I wished for more time. Puebla is golden in…
Imagine how dull the world would be without tropical colors! I have written before about our collective changing tastes where color is concerned. Brilliant colors like the ones in this scene from San Juan del Sur have been both democratized and marginalized. Once you would have needed to be wealthy to have colors like this….
Before my my visit to historic Salem, Massachusetts, I had no idea they had a beautiful tall ship moored at Derby Wharf in the heart of the old town. I had never heard of the Friendship of Salem at all, but that beautiful boat was practically worth the visit to Salem alone. It turns out…
London is a city filled with iconic architecture. It’s populated with buildings that are recognized around the world by people who have never seen them in person. There are maybe a handful of cities with such landmark architecture. I’m not sure what the most recognized architecture is, but I have little doubt that beautiful Gothic…
There’s simply a magic to the streets surrounding Times Square at night. The color and the lights and the crowds…. it’s simply hard to describe the constant stimulus to the senses. Times Square at night is akin to a visual kaleidoscope or a free ticket to the circus! For anyone who likes to people watch…
I’ve long had a soft spot for Art Deco style anything but particularly architecture. I’m not sure what started me on that path as there’s precious little of it to be found in the area where I grew up. Maybe that’s enough of a reason? Maybe it was the Art Deco style furniture I inherited…
For someone from the states, this piece of classic London architecture seems impossibly old and by proxy of great importance. And yet this little shop on Portsmouth Street is primarily considered of interest only because of its literary connection to Charles Dickens. Dickens is of course the great English author of the 19th century. Predictably,…
For the longest time this classic Mexico art print was something of a mystery to me. I knew this colorful Taquiza was somewhere in Chiapas, but that’s about as imprecise as I could get other than saying it was somewhere in North America. Or somewhere in the neighborhood of earth? Not knowing the exact location…
This piece of Dublin pub art was truly an exercise in enjoying color! The colorful lights at night in Dublin seem to practically run in the rain in this scene from outside the International Bar. The rainy night shows a landmark Irish pub on the corner of Wicklow and St Andrew Streets. Like a lot…
The streets of historic Oaxaca have called to me every since my brief stay there. I rang in the New Year on those beautiful streets and have wondered every since if Oaxaca is as charming the rest of the year? My hunch is yes, but I really want to put that to the test some…
I stumbled over this beautiful yellow church in the Barrio de Santa Ana on my first visit to Mérida and instantly fell in love with the beautiful shade of golden yellow as well as the unique style of this old church. Most neighborhoods in old Mexican cities are centered around historic churches. In fact the…
In most places, I would go out of my way to frame a street scene to exclude the power lines. But for anyone who’s been there, there’s something about Mexican streets that would seem alien without electrical wires crisscrossing the skies overhead. It’s as much a part of the landscape as grass in a meadow….
Tower Bridge pictured here, is one of my favorite London landmarks is without a doubt. I love that the bridge is actually a Victorian piece of engineering dressed in the stone of Medieval England. When it was decided to build a new bridge, it was felt it should complement nearby Tower of London. The result…
I have a real soft spot for Art Deco Theaters. There is simply something in my mind which ties the golden age of movies with that particular architectural style. And it’s the era when going to the movies was an event and the theaters were ornate palaces for the people. So often these days when…
I think it was a combination of the incredible skies and the beautiful Spanish baroque architecture of the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán that kept bringing me back to this little plaza in the heart of historic Oaxaca. I was never sure if the skies in Oaxaca were extra beautiful while I was there…
After a few visits to Mexico, it seems like Baroque Mexican churches are part and parcel of the landscape of most Mexican cities. In fact, I’ve seen much the same of my visits further south into Latin American and have heard it’s basically the signature style of most of the Spanish Colonial period churches. And…
Oaxaca is a city known for its rich stock of authentic Spanish Colonial architecture. And, as you can see from this print, Oaxaca has much in common with the rest of Mexico. It’s a city that simply has no fear of vibrant colors. Just look at this one city block with great orange, gold, and…
Since these small town streets are in my own home town, I may be a bit biased, but for me this is classic America. When I think of small towns, streets like this lined with old shops and period architecture are what come to mind. And Cherry Street in downtown Montezuma is a listed US…
Having visited Edinburgh, Scotland twice, it holds a special place in my heart as does the beautiful castle in this print. Edinburgh Castle sits at the top of the Royal Mile. And on my last night in that beautiful Scottish city, I had to make one last walk up to the castle before going back…
I love historic old architecture. The craftsmanship of these old buildings and how they are adapted to the places they are built always fascinates me. So, I have to admit when I stood on this corner across from the old Templo y Convento de San Agustín in Oaxaca, my first thought was was wishing I…
If I had to pick one factor that has kept me traveling south of the border, it would have to be how colorful Mexico is. It’s absolutely a culture that is unafraid of color. It only took a couple of trips to Mexico to realize how phobic we are of color in some cultures. Just…
There’s just something about the vibrant streets of a Mexican city. The colors and textures are an experience unto themselves, and combined with the typically warm people it’s simply a winning experience. It was something I noticed on my first trips south of the border before I had found my love of art. I’ll always…
This starry night in Mexico print is based off of my second visit to Mérida, the capital city of the Yucatán state. Mérida is one of those cities that simply clicked for me. I can’t explain why beyond I love the historic architecture and the people of Mérida are simply charming. My first visit to…
This festive Mexico scene is courtesy of my brief stay in Oaxaca. My time in this beautiful city was just enough to whet the appetite. It’s packed with lovely old Spanish Colonial architecture. It was truly a city where I felt like I stumbled over one picturesque street corner after another. In fact this print…
Sometimes the magic of the moment is an art unto itself like this beautiful bell tower print from New Year’s day in Mexico several years ago. It was, as you can tell, a beautiful day and my last in the city of Oaxaca. One last chance to take in the sights before a night bus…
It’s been several years since I was there but I will never forget the buzz of life on Mexico City streets. There seemed to be a near-constant rhythm of life there. The only city I’ve seen so far that I considered comparable was Cairo. Both cities seemed impossibly full of people. And it was that…
I can’t put my finger on why, but I love the sight of a classic streetcar rolling down the street. Bonus points if the street in question happens to be paved in cobblestones. And to top it off, the streetcar that runs down Riverstreet in Savannah is in the late Art Deco style of Streamline…
