One of my favorite places - a bar; people, atmosphere, people, atmosphere - I could go on and on, but I'll let the artwork do the talking. The evening's fleeting dramas played out against the backdrop of a large landscape painting hanging behind the bar. As I sketched, I wondered about my 'people' - the ones in my sketchbook, that is. Were they happy or sad, hopeful or without much to look forward to? I don't know, but I wish the best for them.
This oil pastel on Pastelbord is 8 x 10". Thanks so much for stopping by!

This is a lovely "moody" painting Connie, full of atmosphere.
I really like this design, and the painterly execution with wonderful use of values and color.
Wonderful scene and I feel the atmosphere...you are a wonderful observer, and I love the colors here as well. nina
This is great! I especially like the colours in the shadowing on the shirt at centre, how it echoes the sky but warms it up. I have been enjoying your paintings and blog for several months now and really enjoy dropping by. There don't seem to be many artists working in oil pastel on the net so your blog has been a great find. Thanks.
Thanks so much Sheila. Bar settings always seem moody to me, so I'm pleased to hear that I've conveyed that feeling.
