Cafe Scenes
This is a collection of my cafe paintings. These images depict a handful of cafes in downtown Amman, but mostly the Arab League Cafe where I spent many many hours making sketches (and smoking Argheeleh). The paintings were all done in the studio from sketches which I made on site. In Jordan I have become known as the guy who paints cafes.
