This is my new painting of the famous art supply store Pearl Paint on Canal Street, NYC. I used to buy all my art materials there before it closed its doors last year. It was very old and industrial looking place which added a character to the business. They had everything you needed

This painting was done it as a study for a larger piece.

These two paintings are of the same scene, but from a different angle and were done 4 years apart. This industrial area of Red Hook in Brooklyn always brings me some interesting ideas for new paintings.

Lately Ive been doing mostly commission that keeps me busy and happy. Many of them are very interesting, challenging and  rewarding. 
Recently I've started new series of small  8x10 paintings. I haven't done  any new work in large format except of this one. This painting initially had been started as a commission with Old New York scene, but in a process something went not the way I expected and I ended up doing the new painting for that commission.

                                                     46"x60" oil on linen

I didn't update my blog for a while. I’d been working on this painting for a couple of months. It was a commissioned piece and my largest painting to date. It’s more detailed version of small painting “Toad Hall” I had done last year. Thanks to my husband who built up a special easel for this giant. and, when it was finished ,  rented a van to deliver it, since it was not fitting even into SUV.    

Thanks God It was local  NJ, otherwise I have no idea how I could pack it up and ship it out. The customers were a real pleasure to work with, very nice and patient. They were very pleased with final result. Thank you Eddy and Jennifer.
 

Also I have new 8x10" paintings. I will start posting them on Monday
