That Blue Shirt

 Sometimes...There's just something about a small area of a scene that excites me enough to work on a painting even though I don't feel like it. Such is the case with the blue shirt on the man on the left. I love the way the overhead light hits the shoulders; I love the deep blue-violet shadow areas. So I picked up on this one today even though it should have been off the easel and drying in a corner of the studio.
