This painting was long in coming. Last April I was asked by two very good friends of mine to create an original painting for them. I agreed under three conditions: 1) That they be included in the painting, 2) that I get to use their incredible apartment as the backdrop for the painting, and 3) that I get to include them in a series I has started years ago called Scenes From a Movie. They were delighted and eagerly had me over for an afternoon of beer and photos. This painting would have been ages ago, but last summer's freelance-onslaught kept pushing my completion date back and back and back. Finally, this past week, I put the last touches on this image. I feel it's by far, technically speaking, one of my best paintings to date. It's at the framer's right now and will hang on their wall by next week but you get to see it now, even before they do!

Watercolor and Gouache on Cold-press Paper

Ha! That's awesome. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I should have paid better attention in art history class.

Wow. It remindes me Edward Hopper's work and scenes. Your technic is really perfect. A master piece.

Thank you sincerely. I've been getting the Hopper thing a lot lately which makes me feel pretty damn good. I really appreciate it.

Holy bejeezus this is amazing! I thought it was a photograph from far off! I'm astounded at the fact that this is done with watercolor, too! The colors are so smooth, I thought it was acrylic. :D lovely job!

I'm always amazed when people say this looks like a photo, so thank you! And yup, it's all watercolor. No acrylic, oil, colored pencil, pastel, marker or other foreign contaminants invited.
