It Accumulates


A prominent artist recently offered a dozen or so paintings at discounted prices because he wanted to clean out his studio in preparation for the new year.   Isn't this the ideal for a painter:  very few or no paintings left, so that you have to make more?   The reality for most artists is having tons of artwork all over the place.  Artists don't stop making it, but if you're moving it at a slower rate, it accumulates.

This small Brooklyn is different than the previous ones because it doesn't pull your vision into the far recesses.  The wall cuts it off.  This muddy parking lot is found on Dean Street near Grand Avenue. 6x8 oil on panel.
