Tony Bennett Painting on Lake Geneva

Mr. Bennett’s European Tour has taken him to Switzerland. He tweeted about his painting experience:

I can’t imagine painting with such a large audience watching over my shoulder. Of course, I can’t imagine going out on stage and singing in front thousands of people either.

Here’s the finished painting:

Central Park

Anthony Benedetto has three paintings hanging in the Smithsonian. His portraits of Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald hang in the National Portrait Gallery. This painting, Central Park, hangs at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in the Renwick Gallery.

A New Yorker at his core, Mr. Benedetto has created many lovely paintings of scenes from Central Park. This oil painting was created in 1998. You can read more about this painting here.
