The mood last night at the monotype party was festive but my art, inspired by images from Ukraine, remained heavy.

There’s a thing that happens: You feel that the reception is superfluous, that you don’t need it to be an artist. Then you meet the other artists, many for the first time. And guests start to arrive and the conversation starts to buzz from mouth to ear and back. And in the talking you realize why you made the art and how it’s all about letting go of something you’ve carried around for decades. And then your friend comes in, back from California, and another, out of isolation, and the coworker you miss, and the men who talk about painting and all the new people you talk to. That’s when you realize you did need the reception, and the people there, more than anything, as if it were air. And you wonder how you even survived without it. Thank you, all. @sophiachizuco @sophia_and_artist_friends @sfaprojects @flatfilegallery @kaysirikul @kamonchanok.bung @cheminhsiaoart @lulumeng.s @robertojamora The exhibition “Sentiment” continues through August 8.

My friend @petesinjin invited me to paint at the back of the F Train 4th Ave. platform. I was only going to stay awhile but then painted two! I love industrial compositions, as you know.

I was a little overwhelmed again by the amount of New York City there was to paint from under the #fdr near the #manhattanbridge Luckily @petesinjin and @thorwick let me join their gang. Check out their beautiful work on their pages. But despite how big this place is we still have discovered mutual friends and even an old friend of mine jogged by and stopped to chat. I love that about this amazing city!

"Painting 5, Broadway Junction, Brooklyn" oil on wood, h12"xw12" 2021 The J Z A C & L trains intersect at this elevated tangle of a train station in east Brooklyn. I’m standing on the L platform looking east towards Rockaway with Brownsville in the middle distance. The L train is chugging up to me on the left. I admit I was overwhelmed by all the overlapping shapes. I knew what I was getting into but still... And it was seriously windy up there, like West Texas windy! Just another day of plein air! I managed to eke this one out. #nystreets #nycstreets #nycpainter #newyorkpainter #newyorkart #newyorkartist #artcollector #pleinairnyc #pleinairartist #pleinairpainter #pleinairpainting #pleinair #landscape #outdoorpainting #allaprima #landscapepainting #oilpainting #impressionism #paintingfromlife #mta #ltrain #trains #trainstation (at Broadway Junction) https://www.instagram.com/p/COwSocjl-sL/?igshid=1bmoq0mr6gui

David + Stable Diffusion Recent experiments with #artificialintelligence With volcanic fissures opening up in multiple places around the city many famous landmarks are consumed by molten lava. Stunned residents can only stare in disbelief. Even far away from the city the natural world reacts with frozen fear and impotence. However, a hero has arrived to calm these primal fears and save the entire world! #nycpainter #newyorkpainter #postcontemporaryart #artstudio #artwork #artcollector #contemporarypainting #painting #ai #aipainting #digitalart #digitalpainting #collaboration #nightcafe #stablediffusion #stablediffusionart #saved #atheist (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCe_g5u0HR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

David + Stable Diffusion Recent experiments with #artificialintelligence A volcanic eruption pours molten rock onto the land threatening forests, highways and neighborhoods. From above patterns of fiery beauty emerge but, up close, strange, mythological scenes of danger, survival and celebration unfold. #nycpainter #newyorkpainter #postcontemporaryart #artstudio #artwork #artcollector #contemporarypainting #painting #ai #aipainting #digitalart #digitalpainting #collaboration #nightcafe #stablediffusion #stablediffusionart (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl8tQRwLn3J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

David + Ai - experiments with #artificialintelligence” As an epic storm gathers in the Gulf of Mexico, drilling platforms and oil tankers come under attack by giant ospreys. One rig is overcome and the workers escape on a life raft. After a rough night at sea they are rescued, but the rig is destroyed! #nycpainter #newyorkpainter #postcontemporaryart #artstudio #artwork #artcollector #contemporarypainting #painting #ai #aipainting #digitalart #digitalpainting#collaboration #dalle2 #stablediffusion (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl7KvLILGNQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
