A bit of LIC's past

LIC 21-17
Oil on panel
8x8 inches
SOLD

A just finished commissioned portrait of a building in LIC not far from my studio. Amid all of the development and construction some of LIC's past can still be found on the quiet side streets. I enjoyed capturing this charming home with the beautiful sunlight dappled brickwork and small touches. Many of these older buildings have been disappearing and I never tire of capturing them on canvas going on well over 40 years.

A Lobby Installation in Harlem

Art Installation in 125th Street Lobby in Harlem
5 oil on canvas reflection paintings
through February, 2025


An art adviser contacted me expressing interest in exhibiting some of my larger NY-themed paintings in the lobby of an office building on 125th Street in Harlem. I like the selection chosen as they portray places throughout the city - Hudson Yards, Columbus Circle, Madison Avenue, Grand Central Terminal and Ninth Avenue. A nice opportunity to get my work out before the public.

LIC - Across the River


 

LIC_Across the River
Oil on canvas
12x24 inches

I continue to paint the Long Island City urban landscape 40+ years on. This is the view from the LIC waterfront, looking west to the forest of small and towering buildings of Manhattan. As an artist I've seen the constant architectural chnages and I still attempt to capture New York in a moment in time.
