"Cafe Intervention"
Oil On Canvas

I hope you can feel the emotion in this painting.
Is she mad, concerned or has he done something which evokes this emotion? This painting was fun to paint. It was a real process, starting with a watercolor sketch, then transferring that painting to a large canvas. This is one of my favorites.

The color is so deep in intensity, very rich. I love the aerial perspective of having the truck in the background. I hope you enjoy it.

This painting has very rich warm colors. You can almost feel the velvety petals. It is primarily composed of complimentary colors blues and oranges. Inside each flower you can see tones of orange and pinks which blend into the blues.

Can you sense the mystery in this painting? Who is the woman in the window? I love to let the viewer fill in the blanks. You are invited to put your own spin on it.

The strong architectural elements in the painting sets the tone. The curve of the window, brick and concrete slabs all add to the perspective. The limited palette of color unifies the composition. Your eye goes into the window, gravitating to the back of the studio and seeing the woman in the window.
