Two Beers

This was my seat at Cafe Hawelka in Vienna, Austria when my husband and I visited last year. My "job" that I created for myself was to visit all of the major cafes in Vienna during our five day stay. On our first night, we visited Cafe Landtmann, Cafe Central and Cafe Hawelka, then went back to Hawelka for breakfast the next day. We went to at least three different cafes each day (some, as in the case of  Hawelka and Cafe Central, more than once.) It was the best trip ever. And my mission was accomplished. I haven't painted many paintings from all the subject matter, as life has been a whirlwind since we returned. But, now that it is almost the anniversary of that trip, I feel the need to capture the cafes. 10"h x 8"w x 3/4"d. SOLD.

Cafe Central

This is the first larger painting in my series of Viennese cafe paintings. This is the interior of my favorite, Cafe Central. This painting doesn't show the domed ceilings or meticulously painted moldings, but those paintings are soon to follow. It does show people relaxing, eating, and one of the well-dressed waiters. What I love about European cafe life is that you need purchase no more than one glass of wine or beer in order to enjoy sitting in the fanciest of places. Oil on 24" x 20" canvas. SOLD.
