Pull up to the counter, and join me for a cuppa joe. I take mine black. You?

Edward Hopper's painting is super- I can't watch the video in my country - but no matter

I love the colours in this wonderful painting! Off to find Tom Waits on YouTube, as the video wouldn't open for me here in the UK.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the anniversary wishes, and I hope you're getting as many bees visiting your patio as we are.

What a wonderful painting! The use of the light and dark colours is so atmospheric - beautiful 😁. Happy T Tuesday! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteI enjoy wondering what is going on in the minds of the people sitting at the lunch counter late at night. It's a fabulous painting, and one I am quite familiar with. Should I have linked you today?
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous painting. I saw it in Chicago once, and it does stop you in your tracks. If my memory serves me right-which it may not at this hour of the morning and me being half asleep-it is a big painting too. And nice tune too. Happy Wednesday. Hugs-Erika
