Tanenbaum is fulfilling a lifelong dream of painting for galleries; his paintings include Native Americans, working cowboys, portraits and contemporary subjects. All of his gallery paintings are now executed in oil on linen. He is currently showing his work in galleries in Sedona, Arizona; New York, New York; and Fairview, New Jersey.
