This is another in my Hopper series, this one inspired by Hopper’s Automat.  Strong lines contrast with fuzziness in the figures, overhead lighting with the darkness outdoors, the comparative focus of the indoor scene with the night, a feeling of having conquered the uncertainty of the darkness but with but a slim barrier of safety.

At the Bakery

There is an excellent bakery just around the corner from our place in Valencia.  A friendly young woman frequently serves us.  So I got the idea of putting her into a scene like Monet’s Bar at the Folies scene.  This is what I have done here.  I consider this a study for a larger piece.

Churches of Thessaloniki: Agia Sofia

 

The Agia Sophia dates from the 8th century and is modeled after the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (4th century), also still standing. Photos by Peg.   

 

 

 

 

The Ascension is shown in the dome.

 

The church was converted into a mosque after the city’s absorption into the Ottoman Empire in 1440.  Here you can see the remains of the minaret.  You can see the arch in the Islamic style versus the Roman style which is rounded.
