Prequel© - Oil Painting

The first time I ever painted these two people, they were hanging out together, chatting in the same coffee house pictured in this painting. This time I wanted to take a step back five minutes, to the moment just before they met. He's sitting, unaware, and rather absorbed in his own world. She's wondering how to gain his attention without overplaying her interest. I followed their relationship over a sequenced short series of works. It showed the beginning, middle, and eventual breakup and regret. I did this over the course of a 12 year period. The other paintings in this series are:When Worlds Collide, part 2 Again, never againAll MyYesterdays   If you want to see what happens in this scene 5 minutes latert Click HEREAvailable as: Original: 24" X 30" Oil on canvas.
