 dio located in Philadelphia\, I spend many late nights in bars. In a mod
 ern city\, most serious painter's\, including myself\, work at some othe
 r art related job. The long work day\, plus time in my studio often leav
 es only the late hours in the evening for getting together with friends.

 ch up with them and to unwind".\nThe oil paintings included in this exhi
 bit represent a painted "pub crawl" through the bars\, taverns\, and div
 es I frequent in Philadelphia\, Bucks County\, and New Jersey.\nGallery 
 owner Howard Cooperman said "when Steve first approached me with the ide
 a of hosting a show for him which would include only bar scenes\, I was 
 excited tosee what he had up his sleeve. Upon him showing me the first t
 hree completed paintings which included the bar at the Logan Inn\, Lambe
 rtville Station\, and Jack's Firehouse\, I was amazed at his accomplishm
 ents".\nCooperman continued "I had no idea Steve painted anything other 
 than realistic horse portraits and traditional equestrian paintings".\nA
 nyone that has been inside a bar will relate to the warm atmospheric art
 work Messenger has created. The artist stated "I'm pleased with how all 
 of the paintings came to life as I was doing them. The more I did\, the 
 more I liked them which challenged me to continue my journey into additi
 onal bars in my travels".Messenger's awards include: Honorable Mention a
