16"x20" oil on linen

This is Toad Hall bar on 57 Grand street in Soho. I discovered it during one of my regular trips to Soho last fall. The place is kind of dirty beauty: friendly and cozy and it has pool table in the back. I immediately came up with some fresh idea for my next paintings.
I started two compositions of this bar in October, but put them aside due commissioned work I mentioned below. They are finished now and I've enjoyed working on these pieces.

"We were here before you were born" McSorley's

------------------------------------NFS
-------------------------- McSorley's Old Ale House
----------------------------------36"x42"
-------------------------------- oil on linen
--
It’s my largest commissioned painting to date that I’d been working for last couple of months. McSorley's Old Ale House is the oldest and unique ale house in NYC. Women were not allowed into this establishment until 1970.
I've enjoyed working on this large piece and happy with how the painting turned out but still nervous enough about how it will be received by the buyer. Yesterday I got an email from the client and he is very pleased with the painting. While working on this painting, I was so curios about interior of the bar, that we went there with my husband one day and had to wait in line just to get in. I managed to take a good pictures despite the crowdedness and one day I’m planning to do the painting with interior of this amazing place.

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.

"LUCY" - completed commission piece

.........................................."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 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.
