“Watermelon time at Wilber’s”
11x14" oil
I absolutely hate having to go back into a painting, but with this one, the values needed to be pushed up. Wilber’s is an iconic barbecue house in Goldsboro, NC. I had my first dinner date there in 1965. I’ve painted it in both oils and watercolors. Including people in the painting is key, as it’s rare that this place isn’t packed.
