130 Liberty Deconstruction |
Downtown Construction, May-June 2010
Only recently have I made time to begin working on a a larger painting (not pictured, or even close to being finished for that matter). In the meantime, I have kept busy on a lot of smaller scenes around the site. The top of the section image is the Rector Street Bridge which was closed for earlier this year. The top left image is everyone's favorite deconstruction project, 130 Liberty. Show here at around the 15th floor.
The above images shows concrete being poured on WTC Tower 1.

Sketchbook from Africa
, April 2010
I gave it my best shot, but I didn't quite fill-up my sketchbook on my recent vacation to Ethiopia and Kenya. On top is a small water color of a garden at the lodge in the Masai Mara. The lower painting was view across the street from the guest house in Addis Abebe.

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. |

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...
