Today I'm sharing two recent small studies of the Long Island City neighborhood where I've had my studio since 1980. I've continued to document the area in paint over the years and never tire of finding interesting subjects. The brick building, circa 1889, is on the corner and I look at the facade daily. Built over 100 years ago, it sports some lovely terra-cotta detailing, yet it remains a small, neighborhood apartment building. So many of the "old-timers" like this one in LIC are disappearing and I'm hoping this one will remain.
The second painting is a view from the window of 2 of my collectors. I took the photo a few years ago and when they came to the recent show at the Leder Gallery they remarked that their view has dramatically changed. Now they look out of their window and see numerous crains and construction. Such is real estate in NYC. Always has been, always will be.
