Poetry projection

I gave a poetry reading a month ago where I read in front of a
projection of all the drafts of the poem over laid on top of each
other. This is a snapshot of the tansparent films I used.

Filling in subway grate

I'm working on one of my sewer/subway paintings here. It's pretty
relaxing work. And since most of my stuff is done outside on the
street it's nice to have something to work on on a rainy night like
tonight.

Primary colors

The connection to a Mondrian influence is obvious here. But I'm trying
to be looser, and have a little fun. But I'd bet Mondrian had fun too.

Working in humidity

Some times it gets so humid the paint won't dry fast enough for me to
put on the next layer. Here I have a canvas drapped over a trash can
to try to get some air circulaing around it.

Croton cover

The Croton covers are some of the oldest in the city and were made for
the water supply that fed the Croton Aquaduct. This one is near
Riverside Drive. At the top of the picture you can see the sidewalk
and curb extending away from the canvas.

Long thin painting

This started as an experiment with using gold leaf (look at the top of
the painting) but started looking nice as a long thin piece. I'm going
to stretch it soon and see how that looks.

WSNY in progress

Here is a canvas that I am working on. It has been placed over the
manhole cover with the left side of the canvas in the street. The
yellow strip going up the side is the curb.
