Andrea and Luella on Chambers Street. 12 x 8 in. oil on linen.
Here are some paintings from the past week on the streets of in New York City. I was there for a portrait commission and other business stuff, so I didn’t get a lot of time for plein air work.
It was fun painting on the streets, the New Yorkers (and tourists) were very complimentary about the work.
Apologies for the potato-quality photos, I didn’t have my camera with me.

As always, you are brilliant. Great to see you. Let’s stay in touch! JOHN
The overlapping of the outlines in “Soccer players…” is full of pictorial humor! And you know so well how to create local atmosphere in each paintings thanks to your subtle tones.
Great work Marc. I spent about 72 hours in NYC last month. Really loved the energy on the streets. Did a few paintings on the lower east side including one of the Manhattan too.
I really like! it’s so… real? so different from the usual “view of the streets of new york”. I like the atmosphere and i would love to catch the way you synthesize… Encore une fois, bravo.
