Painting Process The Guggenheim #4 Painting Process | Comments
Back in 2009, my first professional painting was of The Guggenheim. This became an important landmark for my career, so I decided to try it again in 2010. Finally, I decided to make one each year for 20 years. This black-and-white canvas marks year #4 of 20. Here is the entire process, from start to finish, in just over one minute. Last year, The Gothamist was kind enough to make note of the series. After the jump? A photographic recap of the process, as well as all four Guggenheim's ala Borbay. Continue Reading...

Painting Process The Guggenheim Rotunda in Grey and White Painting Process | Comments
The lure of The Guggenheim is simply too great. No, this isn't Guggenheim #4... my 20 years of Guggenheim's are painted in the same location on 89th and 5th Avenue, of the opposite view, on 30"X30" canvases... This black and white painting was made to support Frank's Doors — treat it like Chicago politics, vote early and often. And on to the process. Continue Reading...

Central Park En Plein Air, The Guggenheim and The Carlyle Painting Process | Comments
Spring is springing, and so, the outdoor painting season has begun! To kick things off, I decided to paint The Guggenheim and The Carlyle. Enjoy the video above, and a few process snaps along the way. Also, if you have the time, watch the video twice... first looking at the canvas, next, the background. People in motion. Starting with the Guggenheim? Yes please. But, it's important to mention, this is not one of my Guggenheim For 20 Years paintings... Continue Reading...

Painting Process | The Guggenheim #3 Painting Process | Comments
The video... and the stills of the painting and process below. It began in 2009... my first Guggenheim painting. Then in 2010, I decided to do it again... same location and canvas size... after #2, I decided to paint The Guggenheim every June for 20 years. Beyond being one of my favorite places in the city, this will allow me to see my style progression in a consistent way. After the jump, process shots of The Guggenheim #3. Continue Reading...
