Along Fifth Avenue, NYC

 I enjoyed painting this image showing Fifth Avenue along with the kind of activities one experiences while wondering NYC looking for interesting images for paintings. Playing with light and trying to make it glow no matter what I'm painting including snow scenes and creating depth is a challenge I enjoy. I employed a  texture effect in the snow including the falling flakes visible in the detail photos attached that helps make the painting come alive. I also like trying to make some of the tallest buildings seem to disappear in the atmosphere like the Empire State building.

SELLERS STATEMENT
I have been in the art business as an artist and collector since the early 80's.  I primarily concentrate on my own art. My art is derived in a variety of ways. I'm a responder. I respond to light, color, design, etc. and I love painting both outdoors on location and in the studio under a controlled environment. I try to convey an idea, mood or just simply a beautiful setting. I'm inspired by a wide variety of subject matter and styles of painting and do not adhere to just one way.
My paintings have won numerous awards over the years and have been collected both nationally and internationally. They can be found in three museum collections, the White House Collection and many private collections.
