Zinke's
20"x 16" oil on canvas ••• This shoe repair store was just up the street from, what was, my favorite deli, Billy's Delicatessen. That deli spoiled me for life. You could not find a sandwich on the menu that was not at least four inches thick. The kreplach soup was divine—especially when I was feeling under the weather— and the knishes were to die for. (Great, now I am hungry.) • Let's move away from knishes (smothered in gravy*) and get back to the piece you see here. This place was not on my "to do list" of paintings for my cityscape show, but there was this blank 20x16 canvas menacingly staring at me from across the studio. So, here it is in gooey oil paint. It also seemed like a good idea to document the place since it is also no longer there. • If you are wondering why I did not do a painting of Billy's, it is because the place is long gone, taking the only good knishes in town with it.
*Sorry to all you New Yorkers out there, but I like my knishes smothered in gravy.

A Couple of Corked Bottles
6"x4" oil on panel ••• I could talk about how the title of this piece implies that the subjects are two inebriates locked out their homes by their wise and weary wives who are fed up with their spouses' carousing shenanigans. Or, I could reveal to you something much more interesting and of monumental importance. I am going with the latter and here it is: The Spousal Unit has determined that it takes exactly 25 blueberries per pancake to make her perfect—and I mean perfect—blueberry pancakes. We are a simple pancake loving clan and yes, we even eat pancakes for dinner and no, this practice did not start during the current alternate reality we are all experiencing. We have just always liked pancakes, day or night. Our nuclear family motto should be "Transire surrepo, quaeso!" (Pass the syrup, please!)

Two Bottles and a Cork
6"x4" oil on panel ••• I find it funny that, for a guy who paints a lot of bottles, I receive a lot of messages stating that I need to paint more bottles/glassware. The fun communiques are the ones where the sender states that they would accept paintings of chrome objects if I run out of bottles to paint. Isn't that nice of them? • One of those wonderful people put their bottle where their mouth is and gave me the green bottle you see in this painting. Seriously, isn't that nice!?!? (He actually gave me a bunch of nice bottles.) • There is also a delegation that would like me to paint only Converse sneakers and another group that states that if I paint another LEGO mini figure, they will unsubscribe from these emails. That may sound nasty, but to be honest, I appreciate it when somebody takes the time to communicate with me. That is, as long as they understand that any complaints might fall on deaf ears—I paint what I want to paint. That's just the way it is. (CAVEAT: When The Spousal Unit shoves freshly murdered flowers in my face, they must be painted. No ifs, no ands, no buts. It's in the marital bylaws somewhere.).
