Planning cover art

So, I paint as well as write and am working on an painting to use as cover art.

Finding some reference photos to help with details is an interesting challenge. I love the mood here, it's similar to what I want to convey, but it's taken from above and I need the skyline from below.


There are other great pictures of Manhattan from 1947, though, and this one is what I really needed.

    The skyline will only be part of the art, but I needed a good reference to get the proportions right and what buildings would be there in 1947.
