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.

This is such a wonderful painting--I love the reflections on the train, and you nailed a very tough study in perspective.
thanks for sharing--I hope it was a great trip for you.

Really Cool Mick...I like the staging of this piece.
I remember that pain well from my last trip too. Blisters and blistering heat in those subway stations!
I really like the mood of this one. The reflections in the subway cars are very interesting to me. Kind of abstract, but still read as reflections of surrounding forms.
Really nice work on the reflective surface of the train cars! I also think you have accomplished an amazing sense of depth in this painting... well done!
Really well done, Mick. And such beautiful looseness of handling, in a subject that would be so easy to tighten up on.
WOW Mick! This is great!
I love your New York scenes Mick! Excellent perspective and the gleam on the cars is wonderful. Also the light shining down onto the poles is just right.
