Large Cloud

Sold

Another day of huge clouds. In fact the working title for this was Monster Cloud. I went for tame.

Backlit Cloud

#176

Sold

Taking a break from the City to paint what's actually around me. Ironic because one of the reasons that I moved to the country was to paint landscapes. So, back to my roots.

The Ramp

Scenes From a Train

#175

Sold

Another painting of the beautiful Newark Station. This is a scene looking up toward the skylights, obviously, and maybe not as obviously is the pedestrian ramp leading to the platform. For me, this series never gets old.

Late Afternoon Sun

#174

Sold

When ever we stay in New York we try to stay in a certain hotel. We also try to stay in certain rooms because of their view. On this particular trip I spent an inordinate amount of time photographing the skyline from the hotel window. No, I didn't see a show.

Chelsea Water Tower

2014, Oil on Hardboard, 5"x 7"

#173

Sold

Another view from the Highline in NYC's Chelsea. I fell in love with the copper facade. It must have been restored recently because I could see areas of less oxidized (red not green) metal.

Self Portrait in Greens and Reds

I paint one of these every few years, if for no other reason than to chronicle the aging process. I also grew this cool beard since the last one. Proof positive that artists never grow up, we just get older.

The Corner Curve

2014, Oil on Hardboard, 7"x 5"

Curves

#171

Sold

This is a painting of a building in the East Village, in NYC. I seem to be drawn lately to curves and have inadvertently created a series. They're usually the best.

Dahlia Lounge

2014, Oil on Hardboard, 10"x 8"

Seattle

#170

Sold

This is the beautiful neon creation (to call it a sign would not do it justice) outside Seattle's Dahlia Lounge. Unfortunately, painting is a somewhat static medium so it did not allow me to show you how the fish's tail wags. You'll just have to trust me on this. On our trip out there last summer we were graciously treated to dinner here by my cousin Dave and his wife Sue and daughter Anna. We had the most wonderful meal and even better evening. 

Broadway and 23rd, 2

2014, Oil on Hardboard, 7"x 5"

Sold

Revisiting an old image. I never do this, but it was a request made by a friend. I had originally painted this NYC street corner last year (see here). I painted from the same photograph but I intentionally did not look at images of the original painting. I wanted to keep my approach as fresh as was possible under the circumstances.
