Berch in Ditmars Area

Here are some of the works of Berch that can be found in the Ditmars Area in Astoria. Often he paints seasonal greetings on windows. The following image is just one example. Many shops have this same motif on their windows.


This pastural scene looks as though it could be an early work.


A shop gate makes an excellent surface to convey a bridge scene at sunset.


One of the best Greek restaurants in Astoria, Taverna Cyclades, has scenes of Greece depicted on the outside building.

This scene seems to depict the American dream




Berch's eagle has landed


A textured wall poses no threat to Berch's talent. This one is like a pointillist cityscape


This seems like some of Berch's more mature work. Skillful use of the medium. The wall finish must have been a dream surface to work on.






Every where I look I notice more Berch in the neighborhood. Just the other day I was on Broadway in Astoria and noticed some works. I know there is more to find in the Ditmars area and beyond the search continues.........
