Stellas in the Rain

 STELLA'S IN THE RAIN - Oil on Canvas - $3500 - 30x40

'STELLA'S IN THE RAIN', IS a recent painting I finished in oil. Stella's is a well-known Greek restaurant in Richmond, VA and on this particular evening, it had just finished raining...pouring, to be exact. As we parked and I walked up to the restaurant, the way the lights glowed on the ground was just simply divine. A critique I received from someone is that 'the cars are parked way too close,' but this is how they're staged. The owners park their classic cars in front of the building bumper to bumper and I felt that spreading them out would take away from the integrity of the scene.
