CAFE IN CAMBRIDGE

This one was difficult!  It wasn't that the figures were hard to do or define, it was that it was so incredibly boring.  It's a discussion to be had among artists how you can do a painting well, "realistically" and all but it remains a total yawn.  This was one such painting.  So, I attacked it with a palette knife, took figures out, and tried to work thinking abstractly the whole time.  Not sure I accomplished my goal but I do know it's better than it was
