Here's the latest painting in the Watering Hole Series. This one is a cafe in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania where I stopped for lunch on the way home from Maine this year. The cafe owner and I had lots in common. In college, both of us had started out in the art department, but changed majors to English. She is also a painter and an avid reader.
The figures fall on the upper third line. The lights on the empty tables and the obliques lead you to the customers by the window. There is a dominance of rectangles to give the painting a repeating shape. Warm hues work well in interiors and give a unity to the composition.
Use the design elements and principles to direct the eye.
