Basis for this painting was when I came across the intriguing titel ‘Looking for Mr. Goodbar’. It is a book and movie based on an actual murder of a schoolteacher in the Seventies in which the schoolteacher gets murdered, stabbed several times with a knife, after having casual sex. This info was found on Wikipedia and I decided to use it for this painting.

He is wearing a leather jacket, pink shirt and blue shorts, white socks and red sneakers. He is casually standing against a wall. Next to him is a neon sign with the text Mr. Good - Bar. The painting is based on the murder of a schoolteacher, stabbed several times with a knife, in the Seventies after or during casual sex]
