About This Piece

I currently live on top of a bar and knew I had to paint it at some point. This is that some point. I went down there and did a sketch of the scene and really enjoyed the composition and how easily it was to enter it. The bar had a distint bright red that I wanted to make sure was in the final piece. This one was a hard piece to get right. It took a while to get it to point where I was happy with it. I had to go back and add a lot more light sources than there was in real life to get the that cozy feeling I felt when I was there.
