Four Seasons Hotel, D.C Staff Party Live Painting

Four Seasons Hotel, D.C. Staff Party Live Painting, painted by Patricia Bennett, 24x36"

Sunday I painted this at the Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown.  It is such an amazing hotel, where dignitaries like to lunch and service is impeccable.  So of course the staff party was beautiful and entertaining, with their own talent show and judges.

I arrived around 11am, to make sure there would be enough time to paint their distinctive chandeliers.  There was already a platform set up for me.  After I did a few sketches in my notebook, I began painting by noon.  The staff spent all day setting up lights, tables, candelabra, the D.J. Booth.  They were friendly and deceptively casual: experts at what they did.  

I painted almost without stop until the event ended at 11pm.  Really great party!
