Had the pleasure of painting across from this historic West Village spot last week, #mariescrisiscafe . Described as a below-ground bar with a hot piano and deep roots in the gay West Village. Second photo is my set up, with @petesinjin painting in the distance. 11x14 panel, sold #mariescrisis #arthurssteakhouse #paintingsofthewestvillage #paintingsofnyc #paintingsofgreenwichvillage #newyorkcityscapepaintings #newyorkcityscapepainter #newyorkcityscapepainting #nycstreetpainter #newyorkpaintings
Went back to the village today to try a larger version of #villagecigars. An old woman said “paint it while it’s still here”. 16x20 oil on linen, available, link in bio #villagecigarsnyc #newyorkcityscapepaintings #paintingsofnyc #villagecigars #paintingsofgreenwichvillage #paintingsofnewyork #nyclandmark #newyorklandmarks #newyorkcityscapepaintings #newyorkcityscapepainter #newyorkcityscapepainting #nycstreetpainter #newyorkpaintings #westvillagepaintings
Saturday morning, while my 10 year old chess hustler played a school tournament, I shuffled around Central Park painting. This is the #daleheadarch looking west. No easel, just painted sitting on the grass. The hardest part is getting up. The second hardest part is getting the wet oils home unscathed. 12x12 oil on panel, available, link in bio #paintingsofnyc #paintingsofcentralpark #paintingsoftheupperwestside #nyclandscapepainting #newyorkcityscapepaintings #newyorkcityscapepainter #newyorkcityscapepainting #nycstreetpainter #newyorkpaintings

I mentioned there were 3 paintings Saturday. The third one was a quick painting, made while seated on the ground, my back up against a tree. In the middle of Broadway at 56th street, in midtown Manhattan. I kid you not. 9x12 oil on linen, available, link in bio #paintingsofnyc #newyorkpaintings #newyorkstreetcrazy #downbroadway #newyorkcityscapepainter #newyorkcityscapepainting #nycstreetpainter #paintingsofmidtown #aslnycalumni

Back in my comfort zone- 5th Ave around 95th street, NYC. Is there any more perfect spot to paint for a few hours? 8x10 oil on panel #nycityscapepainting #cityscapesnyc #paintingsofnyc #paintingsofcentralpark #museummile2022 #newyorkpaintings #paintingsoftheuppereastside #newyorkcityscapepaintings #newyorkcityscapepainter #newyorkcityscapepainting #nycstreetpainter
Sometimes life’s full of surprises. I like it like that. When I woke up this morning I had no idea I’d test positive for Covid, or that I’d have to deliver a birthday cake to Queens in a cab, or that I’d get to paint. Weee! PS, I’m feeling a little tired, but ok. 18x24 on linen, available #cityscapepainting #paintingsofqueens #paintingsofnyc #longislandcityart #newyorkcityscapes #newyorkcityscapepainter #newyorkcityscapepainting #nycstreetpainter

The Last Days of the Papaya King. Set off last night on a mission to paint a large night scene of this fine NYC establishment. It’s living out its last decrepit days on the upper east side. 86th street was once a bustling honky-tonk strip, with movie theaters and neon lights. Appropriately, the King is the last standing. With a nod of gratitude to Henri, Sloan, Luks, Marsh et al for the inspiration to go out and paint the city at night. 18x24 oil on linen, available #newyorknocturne #papayakingnyc #Cityscapenocturne #nocturnepainting #nycnightpainting #newyorkrealism #newyorkcityscapepainting #paintingsofnyc#newyorknightscene #nightcityscapepainting #nightpaintings #nycdeli#classicnyc#newyorkstorefronts #nycstorefronts#pleinairpainting
Here’s an oldie, with a story. I painted it from under the 1 train on 10th Avenue, soon after we moved back to New York in 2013. For some reason I was self conscious about setting up behind my easel there. I wanted to be inconspicuous. So I sat on the ground under a streetlamp. I learned that while it can be done, the ground gets really cold and it’s really awkward to try to hold a large-ish canvas between your knees and not get paint all over yourself. I’ve always enjoyed thinking about it when I look at it. I’m sending it off today, hopefully the new owners will find the back-story amusing. Also, now when I set up at night I always use an easel. 16x20 oil on canvas #newyorknocturne #nycnocturne #Cityscapenocturne #nocturnepainting #nycnightpainting #newyorkrealism #newyorkcityscapepainting #paintingsofnyc#newyorknightscene #nightcityscapepainting #nightpaintings #paintingsofinwood#classicnyc#pleinairpaintings #pleinairnightscenes #elevatedsubways
A largish painting of Katz’s and the raking mid-day light on Ludlow street. Knowing the light was moving fast and that it would all be in shadow soon (third pic) I went all shorthand; cursory indications of figures, windows and cast shadows. The point of painting from life is, after all, to do something that feels alive. I do have a photo reference if I want to develop it further, but think I’ll err on the side of spontaneity and leave it as is. 18x24 oil on linen, available #newyorkcityscapepainting #katzdelicatessen #newyorkstreetpainting #katzsdelicatessen #ludlowstreetnyc #paintingsofnyc #paintingsofthelowereastside #pleinairpainting #pleinaircityscape #autumninnewyork #newyorkcityscapes #kosherstyle #jewishcuisine
A few days ago the weather was like today, cold and rainy, and I had 3 hours in front of me. Then the parking gods opened up this space. I have always wondered what’s the largest canvas I can paint from the front seat, and this view of Katz’s s justified an attempt at something big. By the way, a Katz’s pastrami on rye is $26, but for a normal sized person that’s several meals. Shabbat shalom! 18x24 oil on linen DM me for availability #newyorkcityscapepainting #katzsdeli #newyorkstreetpainting #katzsdelicatessen #paintingsofnyc #paintingsofthelowereastside #pleinairpainting #pleinaircityscape #nycrain #newyorkcityscapes #kosherstyle #newyorkneon #paintingfrommycar #jewishnyc
