Behind the Tavern

oil on canvas

18" x 24"

I've painted 27 pictures from this exact spot.  It's got plenty of light for painting in the dark, ample parking for both golf carts and motorhomes, crummy-looking scenes in every direction, and...it's a stone's throw from the local watering hole.  It's a Shangri-La of questionable endeavors, self-loathing, and wet cardboard.

Ah, I can smell the mildew, cigarette smoke, and bug spray...paradise, sort of.
