Painting Process | South Street Seaport Wender Commission Completed Painting Process | Comments
When Dave, Randi and I began discussing a commissioned piece, I asked them to think of meaningful places in Manhattan. After a few back and forth emails, they decided on the place they were married - the South Street Seaport. To get things rolling, I spent a sunny afternoon taking shots in the area from about twenty different angles. From there, I narrowed-down, cropped and emailed six choices to the Wenders. After some deliberation, we decided on this angle - with an emphasis on AIG Building - which I actually blew-up in Photoshop, to enhance its presence in my source image. ...

Painting Process | Central Park Boathouse Gurtman Commission Completed Painting Process | Comments
And the Central Park Boathouse commission is now complete. To recap: In early January, Stephanie, Scott and Ryan (their son) Gurtman came by my studio for an up-close-and-personal view of my work. With a vision of a painting in mind, we discussed a commissioned piece and the Gurtman's decided to give the image some thought. The initial concept of painting J.G. Melon shifted to the Central Park Boathouse, they place they were married. I met with the gang on a sunny Saturday, and we walked the entire perimeter of the Boat House, taking photographs... discussing ...

Painting Process | Distraction Painting Number One Painting Process | Comments
Andy Warhol used to paint with a record spinning, TV on and Magazines open to eliminate all sense of intent... painting a soda bottle in a way that represented a soda bottle. Jackson Pollock would chain smoke and drip paint in a trans-like state, channeling his emotional current through flicks of the wrist. When I paint locations,I try and let the scene speak to me. After several "rain delayed" days on my most recent bridge picture, I decided to take the Warhol approach and paint, letting the picture happen with minimal conscious control. Fueled with a spread of amazing art books, including ...
