A book by Elizabeth Kirkor Rogers
Watercolors & Whimsy
A journey through 1980s Manhattan with Laughable Limericks
The book
New York in watercolor and rhyme
Painted by hand, scene by scene. Watercolors & Whimsy is a love letter to 1980s New York: street vendors, taxis, towers and stoops — each painting paired with a wry five-line limerick. A book to be read, then framed.
