Przewodek doesn’t quibble about the paintings being happy. She won’t even set up her easel unless there is something about the scene that grabs her heart and gnaws at her aesthetic adoration of light on color. “If I don’t care, I don’t paint,” she says bluntly.

Przewodek believes that just about any scene is beautiful, if you are willing to seek out the beauty in it. “I paint light, that’s what I do. When people say they like a painting that has bright colors in it, they obviously like sunny days. For others the appeal is found in the cooler colors of gray days . The abstract relationships of the big structures and the masses of color are where I begin. How does the sky relate to a hill and to the foreground? I see the relationships and proportions of color in my mind, and then I go for it!”

May 28 is arrival day for the out of towners. That evening we'll have a nice reception at our Greenwich Village apartment and then we start painting on May 29.

We will start out by painting in one of the most famous neighborhoods in New York City, Greenwich Village. If we're lucky we just might spot one of the numerous celebrities living here walking down the street - happens all the time. We will also paint in one of the beautiful spots in Central Park and in Washington Square Park - the birthplace of the folk music scene in the 60's.

I will help you find affordable lodging. You can really save money if you have a friend to share a room, whether they're a painter or not. I have a nice list of affordable hotels and can also help you find an apartment to rent by the day or week. We'll work on that together.
