Okay, let me start off by saying if you don't recognize this painting than something is wrong with YOU!!! I really enjoy the late Ernie Barnes' work and Sugar Shack has to be has to be one of his most recognizable paintings. The painting is amazing. Its colorful vibrant and showcases a group of people enjoying themselves at the Sugar Shack. This painting to me represents what clubbing was like back in the day; it was enjoyable. The music had soul, more quality, and the house band didn't suck. Everything seems larger than life in this painting and maybe that's what having a good time was about back then, being apart of something that was bigger than yourself. Just looking at this painting makes want to go clubbing, but my experience wouldn't be anywhere near this one.
