Working on a painting of this area of the neighborhood. Went out this morning for a 6 hour stretch.... took this time lapse for four hours... at 30 seconds per frame. Difficult intersection to paint. I wasn't painting McDonalds.
Meeting occasionally with neighbors about Parkside Ave. One of the concerns is this intersection and how it is very unsafe to walk across.
I want to re-read a JB Jackson article on the difference between places and roads. Our neighborhood seems to want to contest the dominant use of this space as a place to travel through.
It makes sense. Directly behind me is an entrance to Prospect Park. The road is quite congealed with automobile traffic. It forms a barrier between a commercial strip that seems like it could benefit from a more direct connection to the park.

This artwork is an oil study of the prospect park landscape. It is an original painting by Noel Hefele, a preparation for a larger work.
I make these short videos to assist with potential sales online. A necessary step since covid has changed the landscape. Etsy recommends it, so I do it. And I post these videos on my website.
You can find this painting on my website, noelhefele.com or my etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/shop/noelhefele

1 minute time lapse of seagull baiting.
Conclusion? I don't think they can read all that well. Next attempt... apple or potato slices!

This is a limited edition gicleé of an oil painting I did of Brooklyn Brownstones on Midwood in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York City.
This is on Midwood, between Bedford Avenue and Flatbush. I painted this painting in 2021 and sold it to a collector in Brooklyn, where the painting lives now.
This is part of a body of work looking at the brownstones and architecture in that neighborhood, truly a gem of a Brooklyn neighborhood.
I like to paint with a colorful style and try to get interesting effects with light.
