Any Room at the Café?

This painting was selected by the Hood River Art Club as the "Painting of the Month".  Because of this honor, it will be exhibited in November at the Frame Shop in Hood River (402 Oak St) and Growlerz in Bingen Washington for the month of December.

I loved how the red umbrellas played off of the warm colors of the buildings and how the ironwork on the balconies called attention to the flats above and made me wonder who lived there.

I love the brightly colored buildings in Bermuda..  I took numerous photographs as I explored the streets of this beach-side town.  This shot was particularly fun with the vibrant cafe with it's green umbrellas and generous planters as well as the two women walking briskly by.  Funny, I didn't even notice the man on the second floor balcony until I actually started the painting.

I love the fun colors of the buildings in Bermuda.  They add to the whole relaxing vacation experience .  This painting of a café was partly inspired by a recent workshop with Ron Stocke..... and of course my visit to Bermuda.  Ron is a great teacher, has a wonderful painting style and does really beautiful work.
