| Cafe in Tribeca mixed media on canvas 24 x 30 inch |
My last large painting for 2015, and also my largest work all year. It is always so freeing to paint on such a big surface. I just dropped this off at Tessera Gallery where there will be an open house tonight with artists in their studios working and live music. I will be painting in the classroom there and I look forward to seeing everyone. We hope to have a good crowd tonight as this will be our Final Friday since the actual Final Friday falls on December 25.
I attended a recent all-day abstract drawing workshop taught by Wichita artist Brian Hinkle and one of the drawings I did in his class is very much a part of the inspiration for my painting as you can probably see. Though I did not realize it until I was almost done. The image was obviously tucked back in my brain as I worked.

| Best coffee ever at an organic cafe in Tribeca |
I think what also inspired my painting was the amazing organic coffee I had at a cafe in Tribeca while we were in New York City. Amazing what a cup of coffee can trigger.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
