Madison Square Park, October 11, 2009

i normally ever don't get a chance to walk around and enjoy New York City.  it's one of those weird things about living here.  i don't consider myself a New Yorker really (been here about 4 years now) but when you start living and working here, you build this routine: work, home, home, work, work, home ......  you really start to narrow your surroundings and wind up with this one track mind set.  what was nice about today was that i really just enjoyed the city.  it was a beautiful day - what you would want to expect from NYC in the fall (sunny, perfect sweater weather).  i was in madison square park killing time and took some pictures of the area.  it's nice to be reminded that New York, despite it's cracked out insanity, is really a beautiful and breathtaking city.  it can all happen in a New York minute.

Film Series: "My Own Private Idaho"

i watched Gus Van Sant's My Own Private Idaho obsessively for awhile a couple of years ago.  i'm a sucker for '90s nostalgia.  i'd watch the movie for a couple of times, then freeze frame certain clips i was drawn to and paint from there.  now i hate sounding all art-class-critique but there's something interesting about painting from a frozen screen image.  like stopping time or something like that.  and that's about as deep i can get without nauseating myself.
