Sometimes, you must simply attack a canvas. Without process photos. Without a plan. With gusto.

Painting Process | Bryant Park Grill for The Garrick’s
My brother’s best friend of 20 years got married this weekend, so I decided to commemorate this special moment with a painting of The Bryant Park Grill. There, Chris and Ann exchanged vows — and I, amongst many other guests, enjoyed several adult beverages. Understatement.

Here is a view of my most recent location painting, Sheep Meadow with George Steinbrenner Keeping an Eye on Things. Here is the process post with a hastily assembled video. And, I am happy to report my sweet New Yawk Tee has arrived!
Painting Process | Chester Country Estate PLUS Littleville Fair Pics
Erin and I spent the weekend chillaxin in Chester Massachusetts, population: few. We stayed in this sweet country house, which has the feel of a cabin, yet handles like a full blown house. After the jump, the painting process, along with the not-so-subtle note that this house and its 5 acres are for sale. Jump!

Painting Process | Sean Conner Kanye West Bear Commission

Painting Process | Long Beach Bungalows
When good ol’ Ari Lankin offered up a ride to Long Beach, I thought to myself, “yes, I would like to paint on the beach today.” A few minor roadside issues later, we were en route to the Smithtown High School relocation district. It was a fantastically sunny day, and my immediate inclination was to go ass to the ocean and paint some bungalows. After the jump, some wonderful photos by our friend Jaquen. Beware, there is a NSFW topless shot of yours truly.
Portrait and Light Exploration at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
I want you! to pass this blog around to all of your friends, and for chrissake, hit me up with more Tom Collins. Ah, a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art… where the lessons instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano.
Painting Process | Guggenheim Redux – Target Tony Hayward
At this point, I am just going to say it – I like the Guggenheim. Following my recent paintings of the Apple Store, Museum of Art and Design and First Avenue – Minneapolis, I decided to take my New York Post collage work to Frank Lloyd Wright‘s masterpiece.
Painting Process | First Avenue Minneapolis Minnesota
When Erin booked a pair of tickets for the Minny-Apple, I decided to spend a few days capturing a marquee location. The destination? First Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Day time. On-location.
