Get up and draw the things you believe in.

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.

@Dub__A Guys from my high school would always come down here to ride four wheelers and dirt bikes. Didn’t know the town looked like this.

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.

Rewatching Veep. Love the chemistry between these two

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.

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.
