"Coffee and Conversation"


6"x6"
Oil on Board
contact River Bend Fine Art Gallery for purchase information

 
I was going through some unsold paintings and came across a 6"x6" one I did of this subject last spring. I looked at it and thought that maybe I could improve upon it so did it again. It IS definitely an improvement! Much better color, looser, better cropping and use of space. I love the subject. It seems like we rarely see much done about middle-aged people or that affirms commitment past the more romantic phase. This couple had the feel to me of being together through life's ups and downs and I am happy to celebrate that! The location was Sisters Coffee House in Sisters, OR.

I recently lost my dear brother, and your painting struck a chord.
Thank you.
