This painting is part 2 of Civil Unrest 2014. It's the Final Salute. It speaks for itself.

The entire painting was done with palette knives. A little different from my usual style. Hey, you have to try different strokes.

I always enjoy painting NYC scenery, it's vibrant colors, it's neighborhoods and it's fullnes of life.







This painting is a continuation of 21st century history of the United States series that I'm portraying. The painting is a montage of events that occurred in the same time period between October 30th and the presidential election. Mostly it shows the devastation of the storm effecting millions of people in the northeast and at the same time of the election. It shows the major political participants in the dealing with the storm and the election as well as the damage.

This is my first painting of a series of 3 paintings showing the rebirth of NYC skyline with the new world trade center buildings. In the background there's the shadows of the destroyed buildings.

There's a lot of interpretations to this (haunting?) scene. You make your own.

This painting was done way back in 1980. It's not for sale, since it's owned by a family relative. But prints are available.


This was my actual view of downtown NYCity from my window and it was a cold, cold, flat that my aquarium fish froze to death.




This is my second of a series of 3 paintings depicting the new World Trade Center Buildings in NY City. This is digitized with a posturized effect of the original painting 1.

This painting says it all!


This is the 3rd painting in a series of 3 in the rebirth of NYCity Skyline. This ship was built from steel from the defunct World Trade Center buildings.

In Honor of New York City rebirth and in memory of all who perished on 911.


Although I left Brooklyn many years ago, Brooklyn has never left me. It's always in me in its strength, beauty and character.

This painting is dedicated to all the straphangers. I did it for so many years.
