Martini Time

Two guys sitting in a quiet corner of the bar caught my attention. Something about the glasses and the way they were held screamed out to be painted.

Gracious Host

This is another painting inspired by my friends birthday party. I'm into the bar scenes obviously. I like the darks and lights plus the people. I'm off for another trip in a day or so. Happy New Year to all and safe travels.

Before Dinner

This was inspired by a photo taken of three people that were having cocktails before a birthday dinner. I liked the shadows and the apparent intimacy between this group of friends.

The Duo

For those of you that follow this blog, I have "finished" this painting many times. I recently posted it for a critique on another blog that I follow. I subsequently made some of the suggested changes. I agree with the critiques that said the background was too light. In the earlier painting the background was cerulian blue. As I write this post I can see changes I want to make. You know me I have to frame it to leave it alone.

Bar Conversation

These are two friends engrossed in a conversation. I was standing off in the distance and observing various bar patrons and how they interact. I liked the composition and the body language between the figures.

Contemplative Sip

This is another painting inspired by a friends party. I like painting events. A painting is a nice way to memorialize a happening. The angle here intrigued me. The wine glass was my focus.

Birthday Toast

I recently attended the 50th birtday party of a dear friend. This was a party that celebrated his friendship with all of us and the blessing of turning 50. The atmosphere, food and drinks were wonderful. This was inspired by a photo taken during that party.

Yogurt Shop II

I like difference in the size of the defense lawyer as opposed to his client. It's not correct anatomically but it still works for me. Maybe its a metaphor for the crime that was alleged to have been committed.

Yogurt Shop I

This image was inspired by a pre trial hearing associated with one of our capitol murder cases. As you can see the guard is up to his task.
