The Dance at St. Mark's

2015, Oil on Hardboard, 5"x 5"
#197


This is a painting of the courtyard at St. Mark's Church in NYC. More specifically, it is a painting of a very old locust tree hat happens to be in the courtyard at St. Mark's Church. I love New York and I love trees, so any time that I can combine the two is a red letter day.

This seemed to be a comination of the last two small paintings yhat I've done (water tower, smaoke stack, etc.). It had the added bonus of having heavy earthmoving equipment and mountains of sand.

Just one of the many Amtrak power stations along the Harrisburg to NYC route. I've enjoyed working with the images from this visit. The return trip was primarily during the golden hour. Lots of great shadows and that magnificent amber light.

This is a painting of the old RCA Victor Building, later named the General Electris Building after GE bought RCA. On a recent visit to New York I was afforded this magnificent viewfrom  my hotel window. Art Deco at its most lavish.

View From the Highline

This is a painting of the General Theological Seminary as seen from the Highline in Chelsea in NYC. I've painted it before but it's such a great old building it bares repeating.

Pier 57

2013, Oil on Hardboard, 5"x 5"
#147


On the right is Pier 57 (Pier 56 is on the left) home to many restaurants, souvenir shops, an arcade, and of course The Seattle Great Wheel. The Wheel stands 175 feet high and is the largest observation wheel on the west coast. It has 42 fully-enclosed gondolas so it can remain open all year. Seattle is not a particularly tall city so the wheel is visible from all over, especially around the waterfront.

Click Here To Bid

Ah, Spring has sprung. It's not until spring that the early morning light makes an appearance in our kitchen. I caught this scene yesterday where a small sliver of light was catching only the red spoonula. That's right, I said spoonula.

High Atop the Flatiron Building

#108


This is a painting of the top of the Flatiron Building located on 23rd Street in NYC. The odd statue on top of the building is actually a shield flanked by two scantily clothed figures. "23 Skidoo!!"
