Central Park Gazebo

This was painted plein air from a Central Park gazebo which is perched on a rocky knoll  just off Sixth Ave. looking east.

Springtime in Central Park

I found myself up along the west side of Central Park where I found this view of a fountain in Central Park on a sunny day in April.

Looking south, this was painted plein air on canvas paper and clipped to a piece of masonite.

Conservatory Water

This is a plein air late afternoon winter scene that I painted in Central Park. It is a view on the sledding hill overlooking Conservatory Water, the pond and model boat pavilion at 72nd street and Fifth Ave.

I used a palette knife for this one and because of the quickly ebbing long shadows of winter, I worked very fast without a drawing on canvas paper.

Winter on Sixth Ave.

I painted this little thumb box sketch at the foot of Sixth Ave. at Central Park on a winter;s day in January..

Painting every day

I've recently uploaded some new work, or to be more accurate, work that I have "refreshed", to my website. I'm new to  Daily Paint Works and have started uploading images of paintings to the daily forum of work that appears on my screen every morning. It's very inspiring and I have learned a lot from what the other participating artists are doing regarding the promotion and sale of their work. It's really a very focused and serious enterprise, selling one's paintings, and the benefits of learning from many other pairs of eyes is invaluable.
Here's what I got today...
This went up this morning.
