The Local Mexican Restaurant

Inspired by a spontaneous lunch with friends at a quaint Mexican restaurant in Norwood, Massachusetts, this piece captures the bold energy and working-class charm of a place that felt both familiar and vibrant. "The Local Mexican Restaurant" is a 48x36 inch original oil painting filled with saturated blues, yellows, and pinks—layered with texture, shadow, and just the right amount of abstraction. I kept much of the scene true to the restaurant itself, while blending in my love for mixing realism with expressive details. The walls and floor hold soft, painterly transitions that contrast the bold color blocks, giving the whole piece a unique rhythm. Whether you're a restaurant owner or a collector looking for something colorful and character-filled, this piece brings warmth and personality to any space. PLEASE NOTE: This painting is sold unstretched and ships rolled in a tube to protect its surface. It will arrive without wooden stretcher bars—the buyer will need to have it professionall
