Local artist completes Key Food oil painting (and already sold)

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy

Local artist Steve Cosentino finished up his Key Food oil painting today on the southwest corner of Avenue A and Fourth Street. (First noted here.) 

He'll add some fine detail like lettering and his signature back in his home studio in Peter Cooper Village. The piece should be done in a few days, then it will need about a week or two to cure and completely dry before its new owner can pick it up. (Oh yes, someone has already purchased this! — and it wasn't us.)
To be continued (we hope!). 

You can find more of Steve's work here.
