Something new from the studio. New textures & new patinas receive new scribbles. Small maquettes lead to bigger decisions which lead always somewhere else. Yep, it’s all planned… haha. 24x36. My usual mixed media with some aerosol on wood. #peterbuchman.com #mixedmediaart #painting #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #romance #romantic #dreams #conceptual #conceptualart #americanstyle #oil #polychrome #americanpainting #saysomething #sayhey #laugh #morning (at East Hampton, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc4POdgsXn5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Haven’t posted in a while because I’m a bit short handed & busy-a-f. ‘The Painting’ 48x56” isn’t finished but I wanted to share this new piece for Friday. It’s a painting about art itself. Our vulnerability & quiet moments of contemplation while working. The photographer Dorothea Lange said; ‘Bring the viewer to your side, include him in your thought. He is not a bystander. #art #arthistory #painting #paintings #style #words #text #mixedmedia #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #architecture #americanstyle #american #artist #whatislove #love #relationships #www.peterbuchman.com (at East Hampton, New York) https://www.instagram.com/peterbuchmanartist/p/CYuEsC_pzZD/?utm_medium=tumblr

I just received this early Christmas gift from one of my friend-Collectors. He knows that I really appreciate Hotel Stationery and here’s some from the TWA Hotel! I hear that it’s RAD, hip, and full-on stylishness is a must for a pre-flight Martini. #thanks #hotels #paper #stationery #stylin #therealmccoy #art #drawing #sketching #collecting (at Sag Harbor, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXtqKSpJy9G/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m still absorbing the immense amount of eyeball creativity & mental imagination that I came across in 4 days in Miami but the Trip to the new Rubell Museum collection reminded me of one thing. Besides the Prado museum’s Goyas & the Sofia’s Guernica this Kehinde Wiley has to be one of the top ten paintings in the world. Maybe top 5!!! It spans over 30 feet and possesses every Art history trick in the book. It is a Wonder of the World. #awe #awesome #incredible #painting #contemporaryart #kehindewiley #rubell #rubellcollection #rubellfamilycollection #please #amazing (at Rubell Family Collection) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXG5auZp3vc/?utm_medium=tumblr

SO….. What will you DO today? I really coveted this small one but ‘So’ by Ed Ruscha sold yesterday for … ahem a syrupy Six figure amount! I will report back with more juicy finds today at Art Basel. #r&r #research #findings #exploration #work #inspiration #soysauce (at Miami Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW-52VUl01K/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fly like bird if you could? Have you been to Pompeii? Well maybe the haunting calm of Machu Picchu will get you back on a plane and on to Peru? I recently saw a beautiful collection of artifacts from this historic wonder of the world. More to come…. #machu picchu #peru #art #artifacts #mystery #history #civilizations #thefallofman #southamerica #southamericatravel #justgo (at Boca Raton Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVqTQjgJGFS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let’s have a conversation about Ideas & where they come from. For me it’s from street language or investigating drugs, comedy and alliteration. #painting #writing #sketchbooks #language #signlanguage #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #rap #poetry #style #styleinspiration #process #notcrazy #creativity #mixedmedia https://www.instagram.com/p/CVV8lVOp58I/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m always surprised at how little I have to say in the morning until I’ve had that first cup of coffee & open my eyes. #zoomin #morning #coffee #painting #flyby #studio #inthestudio #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #saysomething #time (at East Hampton, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU7fmUwtpe-/?utm_medium=tumblr
