He Knows

My sister AnnMarie came down from Michigan today and guess where she wants to go on her first night here.
That is right... Fresca Grill! So as soon as I am done with this post, I am off to meet her there!

Well it is a good thing someone was watching out for Karrin. This man saw the whole thing.

Thanks to Joe from Fresca Grill for modeling for this painting. I took liberties to make him a bit more intense for the story line! Oh, the drama!

Hearing a False Rumor

Now the conspirator delivers a false rumor. The woman at the bar listens incredulously. The news is something that she did not want to hear...but she will wait for evidence...this rumor can't be true!

I enjoyed painting our new model, Karrin. I have known her since she was eleven years old and this year she seems to have suddenly turned into a woman! Thanks, Karrin for joining us in this project! I think I will have to make some of these into larger works!

The Conspirators

The story continues at the Fresca Grill
I get the feeling that these two are up to no good...well actually I asked them to pose this way. I wanted something romantic but Alexandra and Jared are just friends and I should have had her pose with her boyfriend but...if I had, I would not have this little drama of intrigue working its way out in paint, now would I? So it turned out for the best that Jared had a little sneer and Alex look a bit uncomfortable. What could they be conspiring about? Well, you will have to come back to see...anyway, I give no details so you can make the conspiracy about anything you want. Thanks again to Fresca Grill's owner Victor and my two dramatic and absolutly gorgeous models.

Fresca Story-Forged Confession

Here is a continuation of the story. Again it is Jared and he was writing something totally unrelated to forged confessions...although really I am not sure because I don't know what he wrote but I do know I made up the forgery part for my painted drama series! That night gave me a lot of great material. Thanks again to Victor, owner of Fresca Grill for the beautiful setting. My friend, Jane is celebrating her birthday there tomorrow. Wise woman...that is exactly where I would choose to go!

Fresca Story - The Dilemma

This is the second painting in the series set at Fresca Grill. Both the lighting and the models were so dramatic that I have decided to make a painted mini-series. The titles of the work will be the only explanation. I will let your imagination fill out the rest.
Thanks to Jared for being the model for this evening's painting.

Fresca Grill, The Story Begins

Last night I went to an amazing new restaurant in New Bedford on Rivet Street called Fresca Grill. I wanted to paint the inside of the gorgeous old brick building and Victor Vieira, the owner, was great to allow me to bring in a crew of models for my daily blogs! The atmosphere and the incredble food had me staying much longer than I intended. The sea bass on a foundation of truffled polenta with avocados and grilled tomatoes had me transported out of my everyday existence. This sounds dramatic but that is the essence of the Fresca Grill. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

Looking through my material from that night, I found it read like a scrambled drama. I have decided to try to tell this mini drama through my daily paintings so stay tuned and read the titles to follow the story! Special thanks to Tasha who not only waited on us but is tonight's model and to Victor who so gracously let me use his beautiful restaurant as the setting!
