Shoveling on 13th ,
10" x 12", February 2010

This guy was hard at work shoveling out after our last snowfall (Feb 26) and I couldn't resist grabbing a quick photo to work from later. I didn't capture the real mood, but you can get the general picture; older guy, shoveling hard, and cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

8.5" x 12", February 2010

Street work on Fulton Street. I painted this in February although the actual photograph this is based on was shot much earlier.

130 Deconstruction Continued, 26"x38", January 2010

I painted this subject a couple years ago and came away with a vry different result this time around. I used a lot more control over how the painting developed and exerted more patience and organization than the first attempt. In the end, I feel better about what I produced. The fact I the building has been here a couple extra years to paint, is a whole other story...
