New Plein Air Painting of 56 Leonard Building, Tribeca, New York

New Painting of 56 Leonard Building in Tribeca, NYC

I've been enjoying my summer out door painting. So many locations to paint! This is one of my favorite spots in Tribeca. I've been creating paintings of the new 56 Leonard building since last summer. It's been an interesting project watching the construction progress.

For this piece I started with a grisaille (earth tone sketch). I do like this kind of start, its a good way to sketch in the scene, do all the perspective and drawing problem solving at this stage. once it's dry I'll return to start adding color.

Flowers Gallery Exhibit, Chelsea, New York

I have a painting showing at Flowers Gallery in Chelsea New York. I was selected to participate in a group show for students, instructors and alumni of The New York Academy of Art.  The opportunity to show one of my recent pieces in Chelsea, the heart of the art world in New York City, is a great honor. 

Flowers Gallery is located on 20th street in Chelsea. Please visit to see mine and others amazing work. The work is impressive!
