Description
I first painted this scene over 20 years ago - one of my very first figurative paintings. This 2015 version was a step along the meandering artistic path for me, to see how I'd come along in the intervening years! Well, I still have the 1992 version on my wall, but I think this one is a great improvement. I've always loved this pensive, slightly melancholy composition, based upon an original photo by J.R. Duran featuring the beautiful model Gretha Cavazzoni
18" x 24", acrylic on box canvas, 2015
This painting came 2nd in the FAA contest "European Cafes", July 2015

A wonderful portrait that is not dependent on knowing the model for its charm. I love her far-away expression. Congratulations on your tie for 1st place in the recent European Cafe contest.

thank you PJ. I am very fond of this composition, perhaps for similar reasons to yourself. There's not a lot of colour in it, but the expression and body language speak volumes. I'm glad you feel the same way about it!

Of the several works by you featured in the SHE HAS STYLE group, I believe this is my very favorite! Her high yet relaxed style & gesture shows a kind of confidence that only a woman sure of her style can possess! Fav.'d
