Winter, cold weather, the feeling of upcoming snow and me sitting in a coffee shop, watching people outside the window. My writing is uninspired today, the Mexican novel I am working on, is kind of frozen- I have no ideas and I lost the flow.

Usually black coffee helps but today I am simply freezing.

I notice a girl outside, she is there waiting for someone apparently but I can’t really guess who may be, a friend? A lover?.

She looks really cute, asian origin, smiling in this cold afternoon: no one appears but there she remains, resilient and strong.

May I offer her a coffee? Is it appropriate?

And …she suddenly looks at me and smile. She enters the coffee shop and sit in front of me, I order a cappuccino for her and a coffee for me” who are you girl? Tell me your story please – don’t waste time waiting on the street, is this person worth?”

‘ Sir, sir? Do you wish anything else to drink? Apologize I need to ask you to pay I will shortly finish my turn” I am back to myself, my Asian girl disappeared, I sit alone again with the notes for my novel.

The two paintings are studio works, oil on canvas 80x60cm and 60x80cm are twins so to say. I like the idea to observe the world from a window: there is a kind of duplication of the reality inside/outside

I hope you like both, the blue interior is not available.
