Today in my little world. Painted along Central Park, Fifth Avenue, with @jessicapriorart, I was harassed by an aggressive art lover, and rescued by Irene and Jaye.

I’ve been so busy shipping out work that I haven’t had much chance to paint. Not complaining! It did feel good to finally get to push some paint around this morning. From Avenue A and 6th street in the East Village. 11x14 oil on panel #tenements #pleinaircityscapes #paintingsoftheeastvillage #eastvillagepaintings #eastvillagepainter #eastvillageart #paintingsofnyc #pleinairpainter #cityscapepainting

Delivering a picture Friday took me to West 75th street, where I was lucky to have a couple of hours to work on this. Not sure I’d ever seen this particular New York view.

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

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

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
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
This little study is all I had time for painting-wise today. But I got to do something way more interesting- I got to chaperone my 6th grader’s field day event on East River Park. After so much excitement, watching nyc kids doing battle, my efforts felt insignificant. But trying to find the right composition on East 10th street is my own current tug-o-war. 8x10 oil on linen, available. #nycpaintings #paintingsofnyc #paintingsoftheeastvillage

Papaya King, still going strong on 86th and 3rd. It’s a one story shop on a prime NYC corner, but it’ll be there forever, right? Met my friend @petesinjin for a pleasant painting session, check out our encampment. This one’s 16x20 oil on linen, sold.

The first painting in the Bronx Friday was larger, 18x24. It has a more studied, calmer feel. So here it is, and a wrap up my work from this week. Don’t know what next week will bring, but I do have a bunch of blank canvases, just in case there’s a chance to paint #paintingsofnyc #paintingsofthebronx #bronxpaintings #bronxpainter#newyorkcityscapepaintings #nycpaintings #238thstreetstation #nycelevatedsubway #pleinaircityscapepainting

Yesterday in Inwood, playing with a favorite motif. I like to return to familiar spots, because the light and color are always a little different. And I get to catch up with friends from the old neighborhood. 18x24 and 8x10 oils on linen, both available #paintingsofnyc #paintingsofinwood #inwoodpaintings #inwoodpainter #newyorkcityscapepaintings #nycimpressionist

Here’s a quick end of the day sketch from the last place I painted- Long Island City, Queens - and also a better image of my previous post. 8x10 oil on linen, and 18x24 on linen, both available. #nycityscapepainting #paintingsofqueens #paintingsofnyc #longislandcityart #newyorkcityscapepaintings #cityscapepainter #paintingsofnewyorkcity #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

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.

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

The second of 3 New York Cityscapes yesterday. Silver midday light on a shady west side path in Central Park. This is the #daleheadarch. I’m calling it a cityscape because it’s done in NYC, and there are a few buildings through the trees, if you look closely. 12x12 oil on panel, available, link in bio #paintingsofnyc #paintingsofcentralpark #paintingsoftheupperwestside #nyclandscapepainting #newyorkcityscapepaintings

Wednesday in the park with Pete. Wasn’t that a musical? It should be. Singing and dancing cityscape painters.
