For First Friday, this artist was painting at the corner of Elm and West Lewis Streets. She is painting in front of Table 16 Restaurant which bills itself as "Greensboro's finest new world cuisine." In the front of the restaurant, they were serving some kind of wrap, possibly fish tacos. The art is very appropriate for a restaurant and fun for any office or home with a lot of wall space. Wonder where the painting will find its permanent home? While we were at the restaurant, we ran into Adelaide of Adelaide's Corner Cottage. Maybe the painting will end up at her store!
For ABC Wednesday...
U is a hard letter. No umbrellas as it isn't raining; no underwear because we're family friendly. We're going for U is for urban and U is for (burnt) umber, as there are touches of it in the painting.
"and U is for (burnt) umber, as there are touches of it in the painting."
I do so enjoy how creative you get with your submissions for these memes!
That fish does not look happy.

I love your sense of humour.
Looks like the lady paints from imagination.
And I like this street scene photo very much.
And no, I will not use MDPhoto for advertising my painting attempts, I feel too shy about them.
My problem with painting food - I usually eat it too quickly before arranging the composition:-)))

Great U's. I love that painting - it would make a nifty mural on that urban wall!

Kathleen:
You are right, I should ask. Maybe we should get business cards. This blog is something my husband and I do as a hobby in our spare time. Sometimes when we snap pictures, we don't even know what scenes from Greensboro we will feature.
Looking at your facebook page, I see that you are the artist in residence for Table 16. How wonderful that they have an artist in residence. How wonderful that this painting will have a home there when you are finished. Thank you for seeking us out and posting on Greensboro Daily Photo.
