Inspired by Hopper

Nighthawks

This painting reminds me of late night adventures to Steak n' Shake with my best friends in the summer. The people in this painting are in a cafe shop with very few people in it and it appears to be late at night. There is no roaming traffic outside the window and everything is moving at very slow pace. Much like those night I spent at Steak n' Shake at midnight with my friends. Just sitting up there and talking for hours about life and everything in between. I imagine the smell of waffles, hash browns, and coffee feeling this cafe shop. I imagine quiet, muted conversations between the few groups and couples in the cafe that late. I imagine the sound of rushed waiters and waitresses in the midst of their jobs, the sound of glasses and plate hitting against one another. All of these are things I experience when spending late nights dining with my best friends.
