Rao's Kitchen Watercolor
Rao's kitchen. I went through a phase of painting a series of NYC kitchens. I tried to paint "old school NY joints" as I like to call them. I like restaurant kitchens because it is behind the scene where the sweat and toil occurs to make the magic the customers see. This is not unlike art. If you want a table at Raos, you cant get one.

Copy of Picasso (birthday gift) by Gardega. I like early Picasso, eventually he became a joke and a parody of himself. He was just "painting checks" in the end. I also think he went insane from syphilis, by the way. I have finally switched to painting on linen, I dont know why it took so long. It is 1,000 times better than cotton canvas. It is much more expensive but its worth it. I also still paint on Masonite.

New Da Vinci Found? HA HA HA. Leonardo wouldn't have painted this on his worst day with a hangover and a broken hand. What a joke. Look at the hair and hand..Horrible art student level work.

I go to the Met all the time. I like to take photos of details of paintings so I can learn more technique.
