New York City Art Studio

A watercolor painting I made in the studio of my friend Janet , which occupied the front parlor of the top floor of a nineteenth century five story walkup on the corner of 55th Street and 8th Ave. Amazing light but also a real sense of New York City when the windows were open and you could feel the energy of the throngs of people and activity below. Yet on a still gray day it could be quiet and serene.

Ucchia Marini carving a block

This is a painting of my dear friend Ucchia Marini, who along with her husband Mark are carvers and make beautiful stone sculptures. I painted this from life in the sculpture studios of the Art Students League of New York.

A corner of the Studio

A corner of the Studio with accouterments of the painter's craft. The drapery and cast cabinet, the skeleton in its closet, canvases stacked above the small changing closet.a cast of Donatello's David for inspiration and the chair and coffee cup of the model who is posing just to the right, out of our field of vision.

Corner of the Studio

One afternoon, I painted a sunlit corner of a friends studio. I'm always fascinated by the way light cascades over objects as it moves across a scene.
