I painted this piece as an exercise in figures. I had been focusing on land and city scapes recently and needed to get back to figures before I lost my edge. It went well. While I have enjoyed the scapes,  I  must confess my primary love for telling the stories of the people. There is something to be said in portraying by painting the lives and stories of others that I simply cannot say any other way.

I painted this series for a show  in the Pittsburgh area. The pieces reflected the culture unique to Western Pennsylvania. The inspiration for this piece is the 'Strip District' of downtown Pittsburgh.
