Getting the work out Part II

Some street scenes from the 1980's. "Fruit Stand" is a 9th Avenue scene and "Fruit and Fish" depict fish mongers on Canal Street. These paintings highlight small mom and pop stores, a fast disappearing component of the city. I've included several crowd scenes as I have always loved to people-watch and what better place to do that than in NYC. Friar Tucks features a long-gone restaurant/bar on 3rd Avenue. I used to work in an advertising/public relations company and this scene is reminiscent of "Mad Men", a show I loved that really captured a particular time and culture. As I mentioned, due to loss of storage space in my studio from an on-going construction project in the building, I need to make space. Keep checking the blog as I'll continue to post paintings for sale, priced to fit any budget. If interested, feel free to email me at sjfstudio@aol.com for details.
