Lyndhurst Diner - Lyndhurst, New Jersey
I am using Prussian Blue for the night sky in this painting, a color that I rarely use but seems to be perfect for the job at hand. I usually limit my palette to the 3 primary colors and 3 secondary colors plus white to achieve any color that I need in the spectrum, but on rare occasions, I will add a new color for convenience.
I am going to take the Harris Diner painting down to OK Harris gallery sometime next week to see if they accept it and me for representation. My old friend John Baeder did a painting of this diner years back, and it is now in their permanent collection, so I'm hoping that they like mine as well. Wish me well...

Four Seas - Centerville, Massachusetts
I am working on a book of my paintings that I will publish on Blurb in the next few months. I will post more information as I get closer to the print date. If anyone is interested in purchasing one, please let me know so that I can order enough copies. I think as of now, it will be around $40 for a hardcover copy and $30 for the softcover. Thanks in advance...

Nathan's and Four Seas
I'm working on these 2 little ones while the big Petunia dries.
Lastly, run, don't walk out to the cd store (does anyone even do that anymore?) and buy the new U2 album. Pure genius...

Petunia - North Truro, Massachusetts
The second image is of a painting I did of another one of these cabins back in 1991. I remember when this was being displayed in the gallery who represented me back then in Provincetown, Mass. It was right in the front window of the gallery for all passersby to see. Looking back at this painting now, it seems a bit naive and amateurish, but I sure was proud to have it in the window of a prominent gallery. Seems like a lifetime ago........

Wonder Bar - Asbury Park, New Jersey
oil on linen
15" x 21"
I think this is the first time I've ever finished a painting on my birthday!
The other 2 images are of my next major pieces...the Wonder Wheel in Coney Island and the Lollipop Motel in North Wildwood, New Jersey.
I am scheduled to have another one person show at Kerygma Gallery in April 2010, and the Cyclone painting will be the featured piece in the upcoming summer show called "Summer Pleasures", also at Kerygma.

Wonder Bar - Asbury Park, New Jersey
These small paintings come together a lot faster than the large ones, that's for sure! I should have this one done in less than 2 weeks.
One last sidenote...if I see one more hockey parent on an opposing team banging on a cowbell, I am going to stick it where the sun don't shine.
I'm just saying................

Me in 4th grade with Mrs. Green
This is a picture that an old 4th grade classmate of mine, Nancy Silverman Flaum sent me on Facebook.I'm 4th from the left, bottom row, by the way...with the wicked cool shirt and vest!!!
I just wanted to remember my teacher for that year, Mrs. Bernice Green on this historic day. She was a great influence on me and I shall never forget her. I hope I made you proud, Mrs Green.
