A summer reflection on 9th Avenue



9th Avenue Reflections Worldwide II
Oil on canvas
24 x 42 inches


This is what I have been working on for the past 3 months. It'a a large and challenging painting of a view from Ninth Avenue. The summer has been filled with many daily distractions and mishaps due to the ongoing construction of the ground floor restaurant. I'm somewhat amazed I was able to complete this painting with everything that has been going on at the studio. But, here it is. One of the Worldwide buildings is reflected on the facade of a building on Ninth Avenue and once again, the juxtaposition of the old and the new is quite evident.

Started work on a new piece up on the easel now, a 9x12-inch painting. Back to working small scale for awhile.

I finally got the okay this week to start putting my paintings back on my shelves, so I've been spending time sorting through my work. I have a series of giclée's that I had made several years ago of a few of my favorite paintings. Fifth Avenue Reflections II is a scene on Fifth Avenue and 45th Street. An older building is reflected in the facade of a glass encased structure nearby and the reflections are striking. I painted and sold this painting in 1999, literally right off the easel, and had several interested buyers so I decided to produce these giclée's. There are two sizes available, each an edition of 25.

I am offering them at a special sale price during the month of August. They are archivally matted and are unframed. Free shipping.
