Buena Vista Bar in San Francisco

Every time I go to San Francisco, I love to stop at Buena Vista and have an Irish Coffee. I have been doing this since before I was even 21. (Oh no). I only ate there once with my family when my sons were very young. I highly recommend the Irish Coffee, but not so much the food. (Although it may have improved in the last thirty years) The fries were good.

I recently went there with a group of fun women, where we laughed and loved our Irish Coffees. Can’t wait to go there again. It is always perfect, no matter what time of day! I loved the ambiance of the restaurant, even though the view was cut off by a tent outside because of Covet 19.

I painted this a couple of months ago and just kept looking at it, thinking it was just “too light” in color for a bar. I’m hoping to paint a few more bars in the future, as they just seem way too interesting to me.

All my artwork is for sale.

Painting with my Friday group is always fun, as we select a topic and paint with that in mind. This was painted with Atmospheric Temperature in mind. the back disappears as the trees come forward.

I selected a very simple format from a photo I took on the bus riding between Volterra and Lucca. It was a lovely summer day!

The painting is 12 x 16 and is available for $425.00
