I'm running around last night doing my errands and around 9pm I realize I haven't eaten dinner yet.So I normally don't do fast food but it was right there! I clicked a couple images with my cell phone camera and got one shot that I thought would look cool as a painting.

Oh, and the show said they accepted my Tibetan Family but are extending the dead line until June for the sponsors and to see if they get more entries. This is a day after the day they said they would notify us.
The only reason I'm not that worried is they told me to not to send in the entry fee yet. But other shows take your entry fee whether or not you're excepted right?

Very nice Piece here of IN & Out. About the show that's great news, Usually the fee is upfront .
Hi Sheila, this is a great painting, one of my husband's favorite places to eat! : ) congrats on the show entry and getting accepted...I am not sure on the entry fee question tho curious to find out what happens.
hugs...
Love the new piece Sheila!! Great new on the show! Bravo!!
You have an artist's eye to see a great painting in an ordinary moment! And congrats on getting into the show. They are wise to accept it since it's a wonderful representation of family! :)
Wow, Sheila, that is one nice painting! It'rs really outstanding. The monochrome plus the flashes of red are great. You've really captured that late night mood and the brushwork is sooo nice. (Have I told you lately how much I admire your work?)
(Thanks for your nice comment on my post: It's funny how everything happens at once. After this current busy-ness ends I have no work lined up and will probably be applying at Kinkos.)
This is a wonderful painting, Sheila. I love the colors of your palette. It really captures the moment.
This one is my favorit!!!
Outstanding piece.
You really captures the moment.
Everything is graet about this one.
And good luck with the show if its a go.
This is a fantastic painting, Sheila! loose, beautiful brushwork, great colors and very cool composition. I notice you paint on raymar a lot. Is it better than other types of panels? Is it linen? I'm trying to find some new surfaces.
It is a very cool painting, Sheila - well done! Congrats on being accepted in the show!
Sheila, I LOVE this painting! This is my favorite painting of yours so far, ever. Wow. I love that there are so few colors, but they do such big work. I love the gestural quality of the cook, I love the atmosphere.
This painting conveys the energy of the fast food scene! You need to do more along this line. Love it!
And congrats on being selected for the show!
Great piece, Sheila. All your paintings have so much life in them, a reflection of your shining spirit. Good luck with the show. By the way, I love you DSDF challenge painting. I sure can't imagine you being disappointed with the results on that piece.
Yes! I knew they would come to their senses :)
Yep, usually the entry fee is paid regardless of whether work is accepted or not, but i have dealt with some that did not charge unless accepted.
Your latest painting here is very good. It gives me the feeling of a late night restaurant/diner kitchen and I very much like the lack of colors other than the touches of reds here and there.
All the best to you
Sheila,you do beautiful work,and thank you for your comments on my blog, and for your question, I have started applying to many art colleges and I have luckily been accepted, some with scholarships. Continue to do beautiful work Sheila,I will certainly continue to follow and admire your wonderful art pieces.Thank you again for truly inspiring comment.

Hi Sheila, i have to say "woow", this painting is fine, i agree with Cathyann about the alla prima feel.
I just posted on your Tibetan Family. So glad you submitted it! I knew without doubt it would be accepted.
I love this diner painting and the way you kept the palette so simple. I can feel the chrome and smell the burgers!
Sheila you have Talent!!! I've been practicing on find scenes of real life that would be interesting to paint but when I look around it all looks so boring.....what's your secret to finding great shots to paint?
Okay, I hate to admit that I recognize the little palms on the wall to be from my favorite fast food place.
Sheila I love this. Very cool composition and style. It has movement and the feeling I get when standing and waiting for my food. It is fun to watch the employees do there jobs. Very nice!
Hi Shiela
I think this is one of my favourite paintings you have shown on your blog. Very cleverly composed. I love the muted colours. The splash of red cleverly leading in the viewer.
Kindest Regard
Hi Sheila this is KOOOOOL!! and yes i have answered your question in my Blog Comments... :)
I love the monochromatic look with the red popping out! This is a great example of how really simple moments in life can become really great paintings. Well done!
Thanx Sheila!!!!!!
I really love the mood of this painting!
Really nice!!!
Nice brush work and use of whites and grays with just that touch of color. This is the best thing you have done yet Sheila.
Way to go girl
that is one great "moment in time" painting you put to canvass... it's really great. you need to do more "slice of life" stuff like that. to capture a part of life like that says a lot more than a snapshot portrait of a kid or a puppy. it's really good. DO MORE OF THEM!!!!!!
This is a top notch piece! I agree with Trevor. One of your best.
Sheila!
The idea behind this painting is what does it for me.
I LOVE that you literally captured this fast food joint in time and place.
Quirky, fun, and unique!
Just curious. What did you order?
-Dean
Came back to say congrats on the sale! big hugs!
I love this, Sheila. It's wonderful!
Sheila, this is a great painting. One of my favorites of yours.
