Outside the Shanty, oil by RK Schlueter

Oil on 10x12" panel. This Painting is based on a photo I took of a young man standing outside the Shanty saloon having a smoke, the light was perfect and the graphics, stunning. Eureka's local color offers exactly what I love in Urban landscape, it's all very real.

  3. Hi Rachel, I admire how skillfully
    you've employed design, subject, color, and even what feels like each and every brushstroke to accomplish the inescapable mood of this
    strong painting!
