First stage of underpainting complete...

Clover Deli,- NYC, NY

First day of work on this one yesterday...I stretched and sketched in 4 more of these 8 x 28 inch paintings and am very excited about them. I currently have 10 paintings in various stages of underpainting going on now. Guess vacation is truly over!

I had to post a few more Hawaiian images. What a beautiful place Hawaii is! I love the lava flow overtaking the road. Don't mess with Mother Nature! I was surfing on the North Shore at the Banzai Pipeline one day last week, and got smashed in the face by a nasty wave, cutting my lip open and spitting blood into the water. I felt like a real warrior out there! Scary as hell!

I think it's pretty ironic that I travel 6000 miles into all that natural beauty, and come home with images of signs!

I am including a link to the article in Poets and Artists magazine that will go directly to my pages. Might be easier for anyone who is interested to navigate that way.

Just returned from vacation in Hawaii. Can't seem to get back to painting just yet. My head is still there it seems. Maybe tomorrow.

I am in the August issue of Poets and Artists magazine. The article starts on page 52. Just click on the white arrow to the right to turn the pages. Also available in print form at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc...

I want to also mention that my painting of the Lincoln Tunnel will be published as the cover of an upcoming book written by Angus Gillespie of Rutgers University. Will be available soon at Amazon, BN, Borders etc...
