Every time I watch It’s A Wonderful Life I never fail to cry, and then I think of this as Lynch himself swells up in tears. Rest in Peace.

Drawing tips from @GavinSnider! #FrankLloydWrightFridays 🌀 Curves are easy. Straight lines are hard. 🖼️ The building is already a work of art. You just need to get it down on paper. ⚪ It’s lighter than you think. Don’t overwork the facade. 🌑 It’s darker than you think. Don’t be afraid of bold shadows. 🚕 The taxis and the food carts and the people walking by are just as interesting as the building itself. 👤 The curved concrete is a backdrop for shadows. Late in the day, the sun drops low and the trees of Central Park are projected onto it.

Tonight is the @nyknicks home opener at Madison Square Garden. I painted the crowd and the court and the concave ceiling of the storied arena for New York or Nowhere. Here's the 18" x 24" watercolor in my studio.

I spent the summer painting skylines with @gethappymedium. Here are five studies from the Greenpoint waterfront workshop, painted once a month from June through October.

Step into Elizabeth Street Garden on a Saturday afternoon. Slip past the sphinx and the stone lions standing sentinel. Trees cast long shadows, flowers bloom from beds and vases, vines creep across brick walls. Between a scattering of statues, people fill every inch of the lawn.

Some have the garden's looming eviction on their minds. Others are just here to escape for the afternoon, to sit alone and read under a tree, to catch up with friends on picnic blankets, to sketch the scene while they still can.

You have to take a different approach when painting Los Angeles. Apply a wash of golden light so it always feels like late afternoon. Paint in the pale greens of yucca and agave. Splash soft purple shadows from the eaves of a Highland Park four square.

These cooler days have me dreaming of the Catskills.   A stone patio, a fire pit, a house tucked away in the woods, a pumpkin by the woodshed, trees changing, a few leaves drifting to the ground. I painted this commission last fall for some friends in Margaretville.

Waiting for the fog to lift on Balboa Beach. I finished painting Lifeguard Tower B as the morning mist burnt off in the afternoon sun.
