Picture of the Day

An artist was seen the other day on Eastern Parkway capturing 770 and the Jewish Children's Museum on canvas. Though we inquired, he was not in the mood to tell us his name. More

Faivel is a sweet man.A very,very talented N.Y.C. ”pro artist a.k.a. a street painter”.in the past few years he also had a couple of his art shows in the CHAI art gallery on kingston ave .His masterpieces adorn a few homes in the ‘hood’ Faivel is a former student of the YESHIVA HADAR HATORAH in the (1960 ‘s). I imagine he was tired of answering all the questions to the many” curious” on this day & trying to concentrate on his canvas …etc…

maybe he didnt want to say his name because hes eliyahu

smart fellow!
November 17, 2010 7:42 pm

If he’s a smart fellow, he will do a very good job and sell it for hundreds! I wish I could paint like that! I’d love to have an original painting of 770 hanging in my livingroom! Beats any foto! He could get rich overnight that way! I wonder if he realizes it!

get real weirdos
November 17, 2010 7:31 pm

if anyone wanted a picture the would take it with a friken camera and its not like theres not THOUSANDS of pictures of 770 wherever you want

November 17, 2010 7:14 pm

who could he be making the pic for? lets hear some conspiracy theories.

PARANOID
November 17, 2010 7:07 pm

Previous posters, come one, if he was using it for something dangerous, he would have pulled out a camera, snapped some pictures and walked away… not spend several hours painting a very undetailed picture… Hes just someone out and about enjoying the weather, and painting a beutiful scene…

nonsense
November 17, 2010 7:07 pm

What are you guys saying its a really nice painting. Anyone has the right to paint anything if it was something dangerous he would just take a picture and run

weird..?
November 17, 2010 7:04 pm

scary
November 17, 2010 6:46 pm
