The Lone Star Restaurant

This oil painting is also done from a photo as the weather is just not warm enough or sunny enough to paint outside. The Lone Star restaurant is a very popular restaurant in downtown Kingston. It has a large patio in the back which overlooks Lake Ontario and the Holiday Inn. It is called Margaritaville and that drink is their specialty! They do a great Margarita!!

                         

I thought pansies in the foreground added an interesting element, they were certainly more interesting to paint than King St. and the cars that are usually parked in front. I love that artistic license!!
