Waiting Room Art

I am pleased to announce that my oil painting, “Dining on Lake Como,” won 2nd place in the “Waiting Room Art” contest. This was a juried contest sponsored by Fine Art America, and was selected out of 231 paintings from various artists around the globe.

I love this painting and I’m glad to see that the feelings are mutual. Even though the setting is rather formal, the ambience of the scene is inviting. It’s not hard to imagine yourself sitting at such a table, and lazing away a warm and sunny afternoon in the shade of the vine-covered portico at one of the many wealthy villas which surround the lake.

Such a setting has a very calming effect, and is ideal for a place where people gather in an otherwise stressful situation--such as a waiting room.
