Working on a commission today on the Lower East side- Henry and Rutgers. When I stepped back to snap a pic of my setup, I caught these guys sizing up my work. Nice contraposto pose. 12x12 oil on panel, sold #newyorkcityscapepaintings #paintingsofthelowereastside #paintingsofnewyorkcity #paintingsofchinatown
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
Bright end of autumn skies on the Lower East Side, looking down Columbia Street toward the Williamsburg Bridge. 8x8 oil on panel #pleinaircityscapes #pleinairnyc #lowereastsideart #nycimpressionist #paintingfrommycar #avenued #paintingsofthelowereastside #pleinairpainter #newyorkcityscape
A rainy, bleak November morning - the perfect weather for working in my studio-mobile. It’s self driving, you know. Today it drove itself to the perfect spot, right in front of #russanddaughters on the Lower East Side. After a few hours, I went in for a #bagelwithaschmear. To my surprise and delight I met the 4th generation owner, #nikirussfederman, and we talked about so many things New York, including a wonderful story she told me about that neon sign. Totally made my day. 12x16 oil on panel, DM me for availability #russanddaughterscafe #lowereastsideart #newyorkneon #cityscapepainting #pleinaircityscape #newyorkart #lox #newyorkstorefronts #nycstorefronts #pleinairpainting #nycdelis #newyorkdeli #paintingsofthelowereastside #paintingsofnewyork #jewishnyc #parve #koshernyc

As long as I’m painting favorite places in the East Village, here’s a sketch of Veselka on 9th street and 2nd Avenue. Painted on a cold morning from my car, it’s a study in greys. 8x10 oil on linen, sold #veselkanyc #nycstorefront #paintingsoftheeastvillage #newyorkoilpainting #paintingsofthelowereastside #cityscapepainting #pleinaircityscapes #pleinairpainter #pleinevoiture #secondavenuenyc
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
