Time to make the Donuts

This painting is inspired by a true story, a story of waking up way to early , approx 3:15 am, 5 days a week! The star is my wife Raquele and I play a supporting role (I make the coffee and toast her English muffin) . Raquele is a store manager at a Dunkin Donuts and if you are around my age you remember the old commercial from DD that had the guy waking up at all hours and trudging around like a donut making zombie, while uttering "time to make the donuts" .This is a true to life commercial which happens here 5 days a week, the cup of water and an annoying alarm clock lit up by a bedside lamp is how the day starts...... Today's Quote: "I want you to get something to work with- your ability to see- that's the whole job of a painter." Charles Webster Hawthorne...
