Honfleur Cafes

Oil on 24" x 30" stretched canvas. Available at Christine Frechard Gallery until October 11th during the "Summertime" exhibit.

The painting was inspired by the peaceful cafe scene in Honfleur, France. The air is still crisp on a May morning before the town becomes lively with tourists.

Cafe in Budapest

Lunch has ended and only a couple people linger in this cafe in Budapest. Oil on 16"h x 12"w stretched linen. SOLD.

Turkish Coffee

I loved the presentation of this Turkish coffee at Cafe Imperial in Vienna, Austria. Just thinking about all the different variations of coffee in the city and the cozy cafes makes me want to book another trip there. Oil on 4" x 4" stretched canvas. The edges are painted raw umber and the painting comes with its own mini display easel. This is one of ten paintings I added to the Ornamental Artwork Collection at UGallery.com. You can see the whole collection here. SOLD.

Espresso for One

Though the name "espresso" indicates that the drink is consumed quickly, it is still worth the time to sit down and mindfully appreciate it. Unless you are in Italy where they sometimes charge more if you sit down. The cafe pictured above is in New York, where one can let the caffeine take effect before hitting the pavement. Oil on 12"h x 6"w x 1"d composite board. SOLD.

Happy Hour in Edinburgh

Oil on 11"h x 14"w x 1 1/2"d composite board.  SOLD.

Ladies Night Out

I've had the reference photo for this painting since my 2010 trip to Paris. It took a while before I was comfortable painting more than one person together. Also I was always focused on painting things that were distinctly Parisian. Aside from the people smoking and the Chanel bag, you really can't tell where this is, which is fine. Most of my recent work is about people doing their thing, wherever it is.

This is one of several new paintings added to the UGallery site this week. Oil on 16"w x 12"h composite board.

Available at Gallery on 43rd Street

At Cafe Royal

A quiet afternoon at Cafe Royal in Edinburgh. Oil on 11"h x 14"w x 1 1/2" composite board. SOLD.

New York Pizzeria

These guys are waiting for some slices of New York pizza. They didn't appear to be talking... I hope they weren't "hangry." Oil on 11"h x 14"w stretched linen. SOLD.

Between Shifts

These waiters are prepping for the big dinner shift at a restaurant in Paris. Oil on 11"h x 14" w stretched linen.

Sidewalk Cafe in Paris

The Espresso Bar

This is an espresso bar I found while exploring one morning in Paris. I wished I could move there and make visiting this place my before-work morning routine. Oil on 12"h x 9"w stretched linen. SOLD.

Busy Cafe

I painted this from a photo I took at Cafe Prueckel in Vienna. It was a lively and warm oasis on a cold, rainy October afternoon. Oil on 12"h x 9"w stretched linen. SOLD.

Coffee Break

Two ladies take a moment to enjoy some coffee at a sidewalk cafe in Paris. Oil on 12"h x 16"w stretched linen. SOLD.

At The Bakery

A painting of the display counter at Demel of Vienna. It is difficult to decide which dessert to try. One needs to stay in Vienna multiple days and just come back every day! Oil on 14"h x 11"w x 1 1/2"d stretched canvas. SOLD.

The Waiter

The waiter at Cafe Braunerhof of Vienna takes a moment to straighten the newspapers after the lunch crowd settles down. One cozy feature of Viennese cafes is that they provide a variety of newspapers for their patrons to read. At least that was the case when I visited in 2011, when tablets were slightly less widespread. SOLD.

Breakfast

A couple shares a romantic breakfast in Paris. This painting is on an 11"h x 14"w x 1 1/2"d gallery wrapped linen canvas with finished raw umber edges. It comes ready to hang.

This is one of seventeen paintings that I will have at the Affordable Art Fair in New York City! My work will be in the UGallery booth (booth 1.2) If you are in New York from March 25 - 29, please stop in to see the collection! SOLD.

Morning Coffee

A warmly lit cafe on a chilly spring morning in Paris. I stumbled upon this place while exploring the Ile de la Cite and enjoyed an espresso at the bar. Oil on 9"h x 12"w Ray Mar canvas panel. SOLD.
