Eighth Avenue | Hearst Tower 30/04/2015 14h27
Passing by another landmark on the Eighth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, the Hearst Tower.
Hearst Tower (Manhattan
The Hearst Tower is a building with the addresses of 300 West 57th Street and 959 Eighth Avenue, near Columbus Circle, in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It is the world headquarters of the Hearst Corporation, housing the numerous publications and communications companies of the media conglomerate under one roof, including, among others, Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, Good Housekeeping, and Seventeen.
The six-story base of the headquarters building was commissioned by the founder, William Randolph Hearst, and awarded to the architect Joseph Urban. The building was completed in 1928. The original cast stone facade has been preserved in the new design as a designated Landmark site. Originally built as the base for a proposed skyscraper, the construction of the tower was postponed due to the Great Depression. The new tower addition was completed nearly eighty years later, and 2,000 Hearst employees moved in on June 26, 2006.
The tower—designed by the architect Norman Foster, is 46 stories tall, standing 182 meters with 80,000 square metres of office space. The uncommon triangular framing pattern (also known as a diagrid) required 9,500 metric tons (10,480 tons) of structural steel—reportedly about 20% less than a conventional steel frame. Hearst Tower was the first skyscraper to break ground in New York City after September 11, 2001. The building received the 2006 Emporis Skyscraper Award, citing it as the best skyscraper in the world completed that year.
Hearst Tower is the first "green" high-rise office building completed in New York City, with a number of environmental considerations built into the plan.

Today is the Feast Day of St Clare of Assisi (Italy,1194-1253) a lady of great beauty,who left her wealthy family for a life of poverty and devotion to Christ. Such was her deep faith, that in 1234, she warded off an attack on her convent and Assisi by the army of Frederick II; who turned in fear and retreated - through her deep prayer. You can read the whole story and see the complete tribute painting by clicking the link below; on this special day.
Here in London, there have been riots in many areas and as they threatened to reach the leafy area in which I live, I began a Novena to St Clare of Assisi for protection of our community...we are blessed so far with peace. Blessings of Peace ~ Stephen B Whatley, August 11, 2011

2017 was the 90th anniversary of the birth of 1950s American film actress Barbara Payton (1927-1967)- and was also the 50th anniversary of her passing; surely one of the most tragic and desperate ends of anyone in Hollywood history.
This portrait tribute was created on the penultimate day of 2017 by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
The artist was inspired by both her blonde beauty and films; and poignantly by learning that despite the terrible decline into alcoholism and drug addiction that her personal life took in the mid-1950s, she tried to cling to remnants of her Catholic faith through a tiny statue of Saint Jude that she carried with her.
Barbara Payton was on screen in films from 1949 until 1955 , when she starred movingly in the crime thriller, Murder is My Beat; which was a catalyst for this charcoal drawing. The story of her subsequent decline - a life that spiralled out of control - is not for the faint -hearted.

This quite extreme sea abstraction might well represent Abstract Expressionism. It's dominated by coal black zones 2 - 3 in the water and bright toned zones 8-9 in the sky. Really meant to be viewed on white background, since in the front the water reaches pure black. 8 sec exposure in the dusk.
A new Catholic tribute painting of Marcellin Champagnat (1789-1840), French Founder of the Marist Brothers, by British expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
Marcellin Champagnat was made a Saint in 1999 and the portrait tribute was created with prayers on his Feast Day , June 6th, 2018.
The artist is a Catholic convert and his exhibition, Paintings From Prayer was staged at London's Westminster Cathedral in 2013. Stephen gets what he feels a 'Divine Push' to paint tributes of faith, amongst his other work - and was inspired to paint this tribute, looking at various historical images of Marcellin Champagnat ; after the Marist Brothers in Canada reached out earlier this year and commissioned him to paint a tribute to The Good Mother, a devotion to Our Lady, originated by Marcellin Champagnat.
The Marist Brothers are known as the Little Brothers of Mary, a community of teaching brothers dedicated to making Jesus known and loved through the education of young people; and are located in 79 countries worldwide.
They were founded in 1817 by Marcellin Champagnat in France, driven by his compassionate concern at finding a dying teenager with no knowledge of God.
Alongside his directly Catholic tributes, the work of Stephen B. Whatley is on public display every day in the City of London, just outside the Tower of London - where his series of 30 commissioned paintings charting the history of The Tower are permanently reproduced throughout the walkway leading from Tower Hill Station.
