A Summer Night at the Palace — Split Lip Magazine

Oil painting. The teal-and-white Commander’s Palace Restaurant, its sign twinkling at twilight. Two women embrace by the street. Another leans against the building. Lanterns on decorative posts illuminate the striped awning receding into the night. — “A Summer Night at the Palace” by Theresa Pisani.
