On a New York City Street (PAINTING) 48" x 60" by Mike Kraus Painting

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty On a New York City Street acrylic paint on canvas 48" x 60" (121.92 cm x 152.4 cm) 202311078 © copyright Mike Kraus Art Inc. This is what a family looks like in paint. They wanted a "family portrait," but something more fun and emotional than a standard photograph. After some discussion, we decided on a cityscape with graffiti that symbolizes what they love and value in life. They and their five children created an extensive list of their beloved people, places, and things. That inspired every detail of this large piece. It's like a collage of experiences in their family's life. Most are original and unique. Others are from pop culture and other communities. All of it is about their love of each other.

After earning his Fine Arts Degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he attended Grand Valley State University for his graduate degree. From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Center, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Lurie Children's Foundation. And every place he worked, he had his sketchbook with him and found ways to be actively creative. In 2014, Kraus became a full-time artist by establishing Mike Kraus Art. Since then, he has sold thousands of paintings that are displayed in nearly every state and dozens of countries. Currently, Kraus lives in Rochester, New York with his beautiful wife and goofy dog.
