Key Food gets the fine art treatment on Avenue A

We met local artist Steve Cosentino today at the southwest corner of Avenue A and Fourth Street, working on an oil painting of Key Food, often referred to as the Palace of Versailles of the East Village.

 

This is a work in progress. The light changed, so he started packing up for the day... and will be back soon to finish the painting.
