Big Star - 28" x 21" - Watercolour
Sometimes the title for a painting is in the picture itself. At the time I painted this I was living in the USA. I was grocery shopping and had parked at the back of Big Star where there were always spaces. There was a big, old, broken down Ford and a dead tree against a concrete wall. I thought it would make a good painting. Not only a good painting but also somehow typical of my experience of living in the USA. I added the figure later. I didn't have a choice about the title, not when it was staring me in the face.
Hi Andy,
ReplyDeleteI came across your site, and thought I'd tell you that I am sitting only 3 feet away from "Cafe", which still gives us great pleasure every day hanging on the kitchen wall, even though we were disappointed to find, on a visit to Budleigh, that the cafe has been repainted and the CAFE sign has gone.
Hope life in Sussex suits you, and you and Kate are well.

I was going to post 'Cafe' next!
