ART FROM 

NICK’S LUNCHBOX

12.25.22 Lunchtime drawing: Christmas Day soccer playing (and sketching), getting out of the house.

12.24.22 Drawing: It was like 9 degrees out today, so indoor sketch and I’m proud to say in my 42nd year I learned how to solve a Rubik’s Cube. Also, can you see more than three sides at once?

12.23.22 Lunchtime drawing: A very gray day perfect for an ink and brush and wash art studio view, looking out over New Lab and some cranes in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and out to the Williamsburg Bridge.

12.21.22 Lunchtime drawing: The winter solstice! The first day of a new season! My shadow taking this photo and Bulich Mushrooms at the Union Square Farmers Market.

12.19.22 Lunchtime drawing: Patchin Place off of West 10th Street, Greenwich Village’s one-block-wonder that once housed e.e. cummings and Djuna Barnes.

STONE ARCH BRIDGE IN CENTRAL PARK

A Central Park bridge spanning one of the several streams that have served over the decades to fill the Great Pond (a/k/a the “Lake”) in the Park.  This bridge may be immediately to the South of what used to be called “Eagle Hill”, a popular sleighing hill not far from the 81st Street and CPW entrance to the Park.
