I have succumbed to pressure from my muse…my keeper….my buddy and pal….who declared that I had “cheaped out” by not putting neon lights in the window and detailing the woman drinking wine. He said that woman looked like a cartoon. I guess that’s how I’m motivated….by comparing my work to cartoons. Thanks. I changed it—-I hope he’s happy.

I LOVE this one and the juxtaposition of the people in it really gives it a story!

Thank you Claudia! In the back of my mind somewhere, I was thinking about German artists from a century ago…..like Otto Dix’ “To Beauty”…when I was developing the composition….

Oh I’m thrilled. If you like Otto Dix, you might also like Max Beckmann (same time frame), self portrait with champagne. I seemed to be hooked on the appreciation of paintings that were created post WWI….
