Work begins February 2000
|
. . As you can see, 4 months of hard work in the bar really paid
off. The unfinished walls are only a memory now. Some of the finishing
touches were to include a rendering of the sky goddess Nut and the ancient Egyptian constellations painted on the
arches and ceiling. These paintings may never be completed as it was a
real pain in the neck ... literally

Bar is up and running by 7/12/00
|
. . . The bar features cherry cabinets, an Indiana Jones pinball
machine. And my favorite piece, at the far end of the bar is a life
size Sarcophagus. It is more than just a beautiful piece of art, it is also
CD and DVD storage.

. . . Behind the bar, a Pharaoh's
Head sculpture accompanies
a display of
bottles in the shape of a pyramid. One of my favorite pieces at the bar
is this winged
solar disk clock, similar to the one in my
painting Last
Call, and a Pyramid Ales neon sign. You can
just begin to see the stars of the constellations that are gold-leafed
on the ceiling.

. Hathor Columns
. . . . The pillars on the corners of the bar were actually the
initial inspiration for the bar's design. They came from an old
fireplace mantel that was in storage at a friend's house. I noticed
that upside down these little columns took on the shape of a lotus
column. The addition of the Hathor capitals was
inspired by my visit to the temple of Hathor at Dendera. Four plaster
Hathor faces make up the capital of each column. What better company
could you keep than the goddess of music, joy and love?

Appropriately for a bar, the cherry cabinets' finish is
called Cabernet.
This picture shows the scarab door knobs, which were each
individually cast.
