Livin' in The Big Apple

Big Apple No. 1

2.5" x 3" oil on metrocard

I've spent the past few weeks of my vacation painting several dozen new metrocard paintings, a handful of "Big Apple"-themed  creations among them.

This first version is currently on display along with 7 other new paintings at Tompkins Square Bagels cafe here in the East Village. Go have a look and a good bagel with a schmear.

Get down with "The Get Down" or get out of town.

Have you tuned into Baz Luhrmann's new series on Netflix, "The Get Down?"

 It is a lush, lyrical dose of magical realism, chronicling the birth of hip-hop in NYC in the 1970s.

And one of my paintings is on view on set (see above) - Fruit Lady No. 1

The Night Shift Resurrection

I started this subway painting months ago but was promptly sidetracked by a family health situation (mom is on the mend) and only returned to finish it recently.

I had documented its earliest stages:

I'd been pretty pleased with the figure at this point - but her head was troubling me. 


I decided to simplify the background and got a nice shape going on with her head and haircut - for some reason I wiped out her legs and feet, ugh:

I should have left her head alone - now I felt like I disturbed that nice haircut, and her feet were not cooperating. It was at this stage, I think, that all hell broke loose in my mom's life (fell and broke a hip, oy!) and the painting sat for several months, staring at me:

I finally picked up the brushes again last month and finished:

Or so I thought! I continued to noodle it a bit (trim her hips and tinker with her legs - argh! Will update this later - but I have to get this blog back to life so up she goes.
