My good friend Zach lives in San Francisco. When we met in Washington DC when he was working on the Hill and me- as a financial statistician at the World Bank. He looked me up online recently, found my Etsy shop and got several paintings off there. It felt terribly awkward getting back in touch with an old friend this way, particularly the one, who’s birthday I missed more then once, so I made a painting for him today. I know he’d prefer something sunny, but he can get plenty of that in SF , so here’s an image of St. Johns in Smithfield, with a few guys (chefs or patrons?) hanging out in anticipation of a good dinner.

Sam used to meet up for memorable lunches with her friend here at the St. John Smithfield restaurant, when she lived in London. Now that she has moved away, she commissioned from me this painting to give it as a gift to the friend to remind both of the good times.

Minimal decor, old style furniture and young knowledgeable spunky stuff – this is why the place was rated in the top 50 best restaurants in the world… in spite of serving traditional British cuisine.
