La cabonara.

Sketches from real life and everyday events give great scope. Nice work Andre.

Thanks Jim, taken from a photo I took whilst celebrating the wife's birthday there. Now in the habit of taking photos or sketches every time I frequent a restaurant or cafe. Thanks again for the comment.

I love your scenes. They are well observed and full of movement.

Thank you Gudrun, always so kind with your comments.

Lovely, intimate scene Andre, I went to Rome a couple of years ago, loved it. I should practice my figure drawing more, the couple are really well captured here.

Thank you Stephen, the drawing took longer than the painting, a bit 'painting by numbers' style but it works for me in these type of scenes. Thanks again for the comment.

Lovely lifestyle piece Andre. Great job.

Thank you Henry.

Your paintings are so warm and down to earth Andre, I love them!

Thank you Satu, your comments always greatly appreciated.

Great result Andre I hope you don't forget to eat

Another great piece Andre

Great figure work Andre. The body language, without being explicit, is spot on - he's obviously looking at his mobile, and she's concentrating on the shared plate.

Eating ,sketching and taking photos whilst all the time trying to be discreet Dennis, but usually drinking. Thanks for your comments Dennis, Russell and Sharon...much appreciated.

One can feel the spacial area in this piece Andre.

Superbly done Andre, love a painting with a story.
