I've worked most of my painting life to do the type of work I'm doing now. I just started a painting and it's way different than any other one. I have a positive outlook about it. It's different. it's a challenge and I'm excited!

I needed a frame and found this old painting I did, in fact it was my very first painting in oil. The scene is 42nd st and 5th avenue in NYC. This is a veiw from my office window and it was a very ambitious attempt for me knowing nothing about painting. It's very primative but I am so glad I saved it. It's fun for me to look at this as I can see the changes I made in my art over the years. So that old saying is true..."Practice makes perfect" and one day I will be.
Hope you get a kick out of it. I know my son will remember when I did this. click on gallery to get a larger veiw of it.

It's finished! Sides are painted and dry and the title is "Mystical Moment". I think it fits. This is a very different kind of painting for me. I enjoyed it and I would like to do another one using a more limited palette. Click on gallery for larger size. Comments would be appreciated..
