Back in the studio I changed elements, and used still life set ups to create a sense of dimension and realism, but the bar is as it was, and the essence of the scene, is there. As an artist, I have my own vision, that is separate from the actual photo, the intangible elements that defy words, but can only be expressed - hopefully- with imagery.
I wanted this painting to be much more then the sum of it's parts, and to have a haunting quality.
In this painting I used classical painting techniques, this piece took over a month to complete.
