I titled my painting "Early Birds" as while painting I thought of one of my favorite artists', Edward Hopper, paintings, "Night Hawks". It wasn't because of the similarity but because of the differences. They were both in a diner, but from there it differed. My painting wasn't in a downtown setting or at night. Mine was at a rural Waffle House and it was not a couple but a mother treating her children to an early morning breakfast. Also, it wasn't at a distance but focusing in on the faces, apparel and usual surroundings and table accompaniments to the morning meal. This painting is another one of my attempts to show the ordinary to be extraordinary through the medium of transparent watercolor.
