Waiting for the Show to Begin
Oil on canvas
24x12 inches

Just finished this painting, an interior for a change. I was sitting in the mezzanine of the Lyceum Theater waiting for the curtain to go up for "Oh Mary" when I noticed this view and immediately thought of Edward Hopper. In a way this painting is my homage to him. I also couldn't help thinking of my friend Denis who I know would have loved this show as he didn't miss anything that came to Broadway and beyond. There's always a reason behind why I choose my subjects. Every picture tells a story.
