Ivan, Mme V and Lil are in a Taxi on a rainy night. As a couple exit a building the woman notices them and says to her companion, Oh, Look Dear. It's Ivan, Mme V and Lil! The idea for this painting was planted in my brain by Steven Torrisi. Thanks Steven! © V O ALLEN

SUPERB Oil painting ,Vivian...amazing scenario...elegant and SO BEAUTIFULSteven Torrisi 02 Jun 2006
Thanks Vivian. You made my day to think that a fellow artist turned a suggestion of mine into a reality I am honored. Its has a great film noir look to reminscent of the late 40's early 50s. With the cafe and taxi thrown in it makes me think of that famous painting looking through the glass of the cafe and at the patrons at midinight. The title makes me think (though I am in my 30s) of those old Thin Man mysteries from the 1930s of socialites and sleuth Nick and Nora Charles because "oh, look dear" was the latter's catch phrase I believeArmando Salas 02 Jun 2006
