I'm going to post at least two paintings a week...minimum. Most will be 5"x 7" to keep things small, but like the first one...they will vary. I'll be including a link to Ebay to bid on these. Any that don't sell will be designated on this blog, and can be purchased for the minimum of $100.00

I've been an artist since age 5, when I remember drawing an airplane better than my older brother. It was a bi-wing with a propeller, (not that I'm that old... it was 1957 and it was a racing plane), and it was encouraging because up until then, it was the only thing I could remember doing better. I kept at it, and now nearly 50 years later I'm still trying to improve my creative process. Now I realize you never get better than anyone else... just more unique to your own style, and become the best painter you can be.

In "Central Park Stroll," you have in a very professional manner addressed SO many details we all try to address when we paint: the gentle light in the background, the touch of red in the focal area, the gentle curve of the road with that spark of gold at the feet of the pedestrians who are so beautifully bathed in light. The secondary warm oranges in the large tree to the left of the painting. There is so much in this painting! In my humble opinion, this work of art has catapulted you as an artist into the ranks of the "the best" in America. I can only pray and paint and hope that some day I might reach such a level.

This is wonderful - the sunlight peeking through is great.
stunning...You really captured the feeling of Central Park!
Great work, Mick.
I rec'd this painting in the mail yesterday, and it is just as beautiful in person.
I love it!
Thanks Mick!
