Finally I finished 4 new paintings (this one 3 more below) which I started a long time ago.

Almost every time I’m in downtown NYC I visit these places. Either buying coffee on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village or tea in Dean & Deluca in Soho. As I used to mention Dean & Deluca has this Mariage Freres "Marco Polo" tea. If you are a fan of tea and never tried i highly recommend it. In my oppinon its probably the best French tea in the world.

I have family who live in Manhattan's Upper East side. Every time I visit them I take FDR drive and had the idea to put some parts of this road on canvas. I had this idea for two years and finally here they are.

"LUCY" - completed commission piece

------------------------------------NFS
.........................................."LUCY"
.......................................oil on linen.

I took this commission work with a little skepticism: the main character in the painting looked a little cartoonish for my taste. But to my surprise the finished paining “Lucy” turned out funny and bright.

There are also 7 new paintings which I started a long time ago and finally done.
I’ll put up the photos in a day or two.

"DUMBO- NYC"

.............................."DUMBO - NYC"
............................14"x20" ...Oil on linen
.
DUMBO is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan and Brooklyn Overpass and more info can be found here.
.
It is one of my favorite places to go in Brooklyn. In continuation to Red Hook painting, this Dumbo street at rainy night is all about the old NY nostalgia even though it is not going to stay this way, being developed at the current pace.

"French Bistro-NYC"

Balthazar is one of my favorite restaurant in the city. Of course it's not the place to go to sit down for a quiet meal in privacy. Very busy atmosphere, but it's fun. The food is just amazing.

It's my second painting of this New York city scene.

I almost finished 5 new paintings. Here is the first one. I love to paint railroads, especially scenes like this one - quit and calm. It defiantly deserves painting status.
