This was painted about the time that Toscano closed. It shows some of the ornate woodwork and paintings in the bar,one of the oldest in San Francisco. Notice the copper urns and the red Naugahyde wrought iron bar stools.
If you ever find yourself in an old and elegant bar on a sunny afternoon, you too may see a slightly dangerous looking man, a cougar, a clown, and a baby.
Additional images of Afternoon in a Bar show details of the ornate golden frame, cast from resin, the painting in situ, and close ups of the clown and the flying baby.

I have taught at Texas Tech, Amarillo College, Laney College in downtown Oakland, California, at UC Berkeley, and at the College of the Virgin Islands. At Laney, where I taught for forty years, I studied art with Bill Snider, who used the techniques of the Dutch masters to paint Disney characters.
Retirement has given me time to paint in earnest, and to explore different types of paintings. In September, 2013, Artmajeur honored me with a Silver Award.
After forty years in the San Francisco Bay Area, my family and I have moved to the foothills of the Sierras, and retirement has given me a chance to paint in earnest, to make painting part of every day. I've explored landscapes, news, portraits and figures, sports animals, surrealism.
Art is a way to learn about the world, about yourself and your experiences, the way you see and feel life, what you value. Welcome to my galleries! I hope you find some things to enjoy.
