As usual, 8×10, oil on canvas. $500.

A translucent blue Foodland shopping bag. Oil on Canvas, 8 x 10.

It’s been a while since I posted one, but yes, I have continued to paint my garbage, although not as frequently as I would like. As usual, oil on canvas, 8×10 inches. Paintings in this series are $400 each.

This is an original oil painting, number 15 in a series of works that depict and document my household waste. It is both a way of acknowledging my culpability in the destruction of our environment, and a symbolic act of recycling.  And, should you win the auction, it would look lovely on your wall.

The second oil painting in the Waste of Time series, now up for auction.

This series depicts and document my household waste. It is both a way of acknowledging my culpability in the destruction of our environment, and a symbolic act of recycling.

This is an original oil painting, number 14 in a series of works that depict and document my household waste. It is both a way of acknowledging my contribution to the destruction of our environment, and a symbolic act of recycling.

All the paintings in this series are 8″x10″ unless noted otherwise. Each one is on stretched gessoed canvas, and finished with a durable, archival varnish.

A garbage can in the playground on 67th & 1st, near Sloan Kettering. I was sitting on a bench as Milo slept in his stroller and Julie was at the hospital visiting our friend Wynne who is dying of cancer. It was a perfect spring day,  frolicking nanny-nurtured children everywhere, meanwhile in the surrounding medical buildings, all sorts of disease and despair. Somehow this grim, stinky garbage can, surrounded by pampered, carefree offspring of the Manhattan elite symbolized the same dynamic, but in reverse.
