Titled:  A Taste of Blue Heaven

13-1/2 x 21" Watercolor

This painting is a result from a visit a year ago to Ricky's Blue Heaven Restaurant and Bar in Key West, Florida.  

I painted this because I was captivated by the warm and cool colors of the bottles, their contents and the reflected light that bounced around and through them. The greens of the palms and wood shelving add an earthly feel to the complex scene and the setting sun cast warmth to it all. 

This is my husband and my favorite place to go to in eat Key West and we make it a point to eat there at least twice during our vacation.  This is my one and only entry into the 33rd Annual Pennsylvania Watercolor Society's Juried Exhibition.
