I tried something different yesterday which is oil paint and working outdoors! This is my backyard in Brooklyn. I’m still working mostly on wood. This piece is 10" x 8“ I’m still intending to go larger but I need to use up all the small pieces of wood first lol. It’s also nice to be experimenting at this stage on a smaller format before I go bigger.

Hello I visited Maine recently where I did several "en plain air" (outdoors on site ) paintings. It was a sheer joy to do these! These are small, quickly done paintings with acrylic on wood and/or canvas. small size. I tried to capture the gorgeous light and beauty of the spot. This type of painting is highly addictive I must say, when one is in a beautiful spot.

Delivered these two babies to Howe Gallery at Kean Univeristy today for an upcoming faculty exhibition. The left one is 24 x 48 inches oil on cavas "Disconnect 4" and the right one is a bit smaller oil/mixed media on canvas "Reaching". These paintings come from the 'inner', and are inspired by mind scapes I see with my eyes closed. Done at the same time as my recent Maine en plein air paintings, they prove to me how bi-polar the Long Covid experience can feel. This series is done slowly with oil paint as my medium. I love black. Is it obvious? Many thanks to my two colleagues: Julie Harris and Anna Shukelo for curating/hanging this exhibition! I will post updates as the exhibition nears....

The Paterson Falls are a precious and spectacular site in Paterson, New Jersey. And they are entwined with Early American history in particular with Alexander Hamilton. In Summer 2000, I decided to paint the falls with acrylics on a wood panel on site. Back in the studio afterwards I was able to add more details and colors with oil paint.
