The North End in Boston has some great Italian restaurants. Loved the washed out brightness of the street and the dark darks of the interior.
Was recently in New York City with some friends. Had some time to kill and stumbled upon a parade – decided to hang out and watch it. Have always been an incessant people watcher – decided to take a bunch of shots of various characters in the parade that caught my eye. Since the NYC trip, have happened upon a few other parades at the Jersey Shore – have taken shots of characters at these parades as well. Look for additions to this “Parade” series over the next few months.

Was down at the Jersey Shore. Arrived later in the day – the kids wanted to walk around the beach. Had the beach to ourselves. Kids had a blast just walking through the surf and scouting for shells. After the sun went down, everything was bathed in these lovely shades of blue. Tried to capture those colors and the dreaminess of the scene in this painting.
Love going to Sea Isle, New Jersey with the family. Took a reference shot for this painting just as the sun was setting. Created these nice, deep indigos and pinks. The promenade lights just came on when I snapped this shot.

Was walking back to the hotel from a night on the town in Manhattan. Have always been fascinated by the markets that seem to be on every street corner in New York. The produce quality and variety are unmatched. Loved the contrast of the bright fruit and market’s inner glow against the dark street, awning, and figures in the street. Originally planned this painting as a “quickie” – loose brushwork and light on detail. But, was having too much fun and got caught up creating the detail in this work.
One of the best parts of getting a Philly cheese steak at one of the famous stands is the wait. Can meet some real interesting people while waiting in line. Geno’s is one of my favorites. Liked that the skyline of Phili is in the background of this painting.
