Cafe

This is an oil painting done a short while back. I had some nice reference I took sitting at a restaurant that was really deep red everywhere. So I tried to do a play off the golden age illustrator Coles Phillips(thanks Kactiguy) and his dissapearing edges. It is an oil painting about 16"x20".

  10. Nice work Dave. You know, I think I wrote a paper on Coles Phillips for my History of Illustration class, and I had completely forgotten about him until reading your post. I guess I'll have to go back and rediscover why I chose to write a paper on him in the first place.
