Description
The Nice Life is a fitness studio on Park Avenue in Winter Park, Florida. My son and I were spending the afternoon together having lunch. While we did some window shopping afterwards, I noticed this group of young women sitting together having an animated conversation. They were laughing and having a good time. I thought it one of those neat coincidences to see the sign above them. As you can see, it said...The Nice Life. How perfectly appropriate!
This is a group of six young women. I am not sure if they had just worked out in the studio but they were certainly relaxing together. This is only about two or three blocks from Rollins College. I suspect that they might be students there.
Their table was situated in front of the studio within a small walk-in mall. Several little shops and restaurants were in the mall. There were only a few tables outside the studio. The patio area had irregular shaped shaped bricks on the floor. Table umbrellas shaded them from the sunlight. Foliage tastefully surrounded this charming area.
As an artist I was fascinated by the challenge of all the various textures. The rattan chairs were a special challenge with all the various curves and weaving. I like the way that trees reflected in the window behind them. They had various purses and bags with them. It was interesting how each of them were dressed differently. Each seemed to have unique personalities.
This is the kind of scene that many of us have experienced in our lives. I was reminded of doing this kind of thing with my own friends. I still often join friends just like this for a coffee or a meal. It is one of life's simple pleasures.
I exaggerated all the colors and textures. This is a fairly large acrylic painting on a 30" by 40" gallery wrapped canvas. I used acrylic paints.
