A friend who just opened a cool restaurant off the square in McKinney asked if I would show some work at his new french bistro called Eclair. - I said yes and shared with him that I wanted to have a theme of some kind - the most obvious theme to me is McKinney itself. So after much research, I've started to paint. - Here are 5 more paintings in the series. I'm hoping to complete 15 paintings. The show will be for 3 days - June 25, 26 and 27. - You are all invited! - More info. to come. - Thanks for taking a look :)
