When I first started painting cityscapes, I was very self conscious. I looked hard for just the right spot- inconspicuous and well out of the way, so as not to bother anyone or encourage human contact. Now I set up wherever. Out in the street? You betcha. 10x10 oil on panel, available  #nycpaintings #newyorkcityscapepaintings #newyorkcityscapepainter#paintingsoftheeastvillage #paintingsofnewyorkcity #e10thstnyc #paintingsoftompkinssquarepark #nycimpressionist #eastvillagepaintings #eastvillagepainter #eastvillageart

Painted this small oil from a favorite corner in Tompkins Square yesterday. I love painting the red buildings popping through the spring green trees, and the dappled light on the path. 8x8 oil on panel , available #paintingsoftheeastvillage #paintingsoftompkinssquarepark #nycpaintings #springtimeinnewyork #newyorkcityscapepaintings #newyorkcityscapepainter #eastvillagepaintings #eastvillagepainter #eastvillageart #nycparkpainting

Today I was back in my favorite NYC neighborhood, painting on one of my favorite streets- East 10th between 1st and A. I worked on these 3 from 930 am till about 6. Now I am going to pass out, thank you very much. 16x20s on linen. #paintingsoftheeastvillage #paintingsofnewyorkcity #e10thstnyc #pleinaircityscapepainting #newyorkcityscapepaintings #newyorkcityscapepainter #eastvillagepaintings #eastvillagepainter #eastvillageart

A New York street scene I spent some time with today. I love the warm greens of September against the red and yellow brick buildings. And did I mention I like painting on E 10th street? 18x24 oil on linen, available #paintingsoftheeastvillage #paintingsofnewyorkcity #e10thstnyc #pleinaircityscapepainting #newyorkcityscapepaintings #newyorkcityscapepainter #eastvillagepaintings #eastvillagepainter #eastvillageartist #newyorkpaintings #nycpaintings
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

Here’s my latest effort at my E 10th street commission, painted Thursday and Friday. My struggle has been to feature the clients old building building (on the right) and the Russian Baths,  and have the light and everything else come together. Happy to report that both the painter and client are pleased with this one. Will I continue to paint on this block? Most definitely. 18x24 oil on linen #autumninnyc #paintingsoftheeastvillage #paintingsofnewyorkcity #e10thstnyc #russianandturkishbaths #pleinaircityscapepainting #newyorkcityscapepaintings #newyorkcityscapepainter #eastvillagepaintings #eastvillagepainter #eastvillageartist #newyorkpaintings #nycpaintings #nyctenements #pleinairpainting

Tuesday on second Avenue. While the staples of my youth- St Marks Movie theater, Second Ave Deli, Gem Spa and oh so many others fell to development, this butcher shop has somehow endured. Also, what a great sign. I like the brushy effects I get painting on panel. If it makes you think at all of the New York Ashcan painters, then I’m a happy man. 8x10 DM me for availability #nycstorefront #paintingsoftheeastvillage #newyorkoilpainting #jbaczynskymeatmarket #cityscapepainting #pleinaircityscapes #pleinairpainter #pleinevoiture #secondavenuenyc
As long as I’m painting favorite places in the East Village, here’s a sketch of Veselka on 9th street and 2nd Avenue.

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.
