Very nice. Truly captures the essence with limited brush strokes. I like!

I was wondering if it was easy for you to paint there and you answered. I’m a fan of Leroy Neiman’s work and yours had similar feel with a heavier use of color.

Thanks Leena. Definitely one of the easier places to paint. I try to go to parks and large squares for space but I have done my fair share of sidewalk painting. Still good! just more hectic.

Huge compliment! I've been trying to desaturate my work but I can't seem to get away from color. Oh well

As someone that once lived a short walk from here and moved away a while back, this is beautiful.

Trying to determine which view this is. Is that 770 Broadway in the background?

Maine, after having a kid and wanting to be closer to his grandparents, who retired up this way. Left a sweet City job and pension behind to do it, but it has made daily life easier (if markedly less exciting/interesting).

Random question concerning "the process", that I probably already know the answer to, but it'd be nice to hear first hand. :D

As an artist, how does one deal with, say, that guy in the bottom left. Or the people and cars on the road. They don't stay still, realistically, so they can't hold still while you render them onto the canvas.

My best guess was that these are amalgams of things seen while out there, drawn from memory after they've moved on?

How does that work, for you?

Usually you can use the general forms of people you see as reference. A person walking along the road generally looks pretty similar so if you can nail that shorthand it doesn't really matter if you're getting a likeness or anything. No one's gonna know if those cars were even there or not. So just pick a car out or a person out and draw inspiration from the scene. Maybe someone's wearing a nice hat nut isn't in the right position. Stuff like that.

So yeah, lots of memory. Just using what the scene gives you and working it to your paintings needs!

lol. this particular AI tool does consistently resemble your work, but your work and work of your style predates the AI so the AI is copying you, not the other way around. it is very fun and interesting tho.
