Crowd challenge

I decided to paint this area of the photograph because the body language was so fascinating. The young woman seated at the left with an older woman. She is leaning back, the older person leaning forward. The girl smoking on the right and her companion, they have a story to tell. The girl in the middle... It would be interesting to write a fictional story about these characters.

I could never ignore a window box with geraniums. So they had to included.

Painted on an 8x10 canvas panel in oil.
