This painting will be on auction at Rossini november 30th at 2pm Paris time.  The auction is a charity where 100% of the proceeds go to the Association AMFE (Enfants Malades de Foie).  I hope they make buckets of money to help the kids and their families.  You can bid online.  Rossini is one of the largest auction houses in Europe.

Just to let you am quitting painting NYC.  Its been almost four years that I've been on this stint, now it's time to move on to new and more personal subject matter.  I love NY so lets leave it alone.

There is lots of detail in the painting, it took over a month to paint.

  These small paintings are rapid sketches, all about atmosphere and gesture.  It's been great painting all the people, practicing skin tones

I wish I had gone down to Wall Street to photograph all the people in white shirts.  The guy on the left is wearing headphones.

Another painting, Uptown Traffic, similar to this one, was selected by a gallery for the fair Art O'Clock at La Défense.   But I sold it, rather traded it upon request of my landlord for free studio space.  So the gallery flipped out and asked me to repeat Uptown Traffic.  Instead, I painted  Bike Lane, same format, same angle.

When you see a red flag flash behind your eyes then it's time to stop and listen to yourself.  It's happened to me a few times and those were life changing moments.

More and more I want to abstract what I am painting.  It's like jazz, I don't really like jazz but only a person with a hellova technique can play jazz.    I feel like I know what I'm doing so now it's time to have fun.
