Lazy Afternoon Lone Star Saloon

 

Lazy Afternoon Lone Star Saloon, water color on paper, 5x7 inch

It’s a lazy afternoon at the Lone Star Bar where Brian’s been a regular for thirty years.  The girl’s worked there for fifteen years. Both of them well past their expiration dates, happy to share a smoke and a few beers.

Old Mamasan

She’s been the Mamasan for thirty years, watched too many girls work way too many men.  Heard too many stories, seen too many tears.  Desire is an illusion, she knows too well.  She goes to the temple every day and listens to the monks.  But how else is she to earn a living?
