Artist Scott Noel has painted Philadelphia continuously since 1978, working in many of the city's neighborhoods: East Oak Lane, Mount Airy, Chestnut Hill, Center City, Roxborough and Manayunk. Noel has always been inspired by the example of Thomas Eakins, a realist who used observation and meticulous craft to express the particularity of the light and landscape of the region. Implicit in Eakins’ endeavor and Noel’s is a feeling for the place and a solidarity with its people. The essay, "Philadelphia," in the Mythologies catalogue details Noels feelings for the city.
