Times Square No Turns
























14x18 Oil on Panel
Times Square is a major intersection in Manhattan, at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets. All this streets put together, and you have a wonderful mess. My kind of subject to paint.

Share Everything
























16x12 Oil on Panel
According to my favorite book, "All I need to know I learned in kindergarten", the very first thing you should learn is share everything. And in the big city's roads, this means share the road. Some other time, will tell you what else we could learn in kindergarten.

Definitely One Way



















18x14 Oil on Panel
One of the most used traffic sign in New York City is "One Way". The subtle message of three identical signs is, don't even think of making right turn. The other popular sign? "Don't even think to park here".

Vincent Sinovcic 1933-2010
A personal note:
I was a child when my older brother Vincent, left our native country. He took with him my only possession, a wristwatch I got for my first communion. He needed it more than me. After wandering for several years through Western Europe, he emigrated to the country of his dreams, USA. Some 30 years later, I came to America, and brought with me few of my possessions, like a pair of skis. We hardly recognized each other, and after all these years, I still remember his first words: "By God, who comes to America with skis"? Later, he gave me back my old, broken wristwatch. Don't know how, but I lost that watch.
And today I lost my brother.
If you have some wine, please have a glass for Vincent, a historian, a writer and a dreamer.

The marble arch designed by Stanford White, erected in 1892. By the year 2000, air pollution had severely eroded parts of the statue of Washington. An extensive renovation was undertaken, and the arch again has been restored to its former glory.
