House, several different views of the Attic building and the Cameo Art- house Theatre. Many of the paintings have sold as prints and originals. "We wanted customers to come in and realize this is not a chain res- taurant, that this is a locally owned restaurant with local artwork that represents where they are," King said. "I helped Kirk pick out all the colors for the walls. He said, 'You're an artist and you're going to be hanging your artwork here, so what colors would you want to make it a warm, comfortable restaurant?' I picked out real bright orange and red to make it really warm in there. A lot of the paintings have cool colors in them, so it's a nice contrast." "The Cupola" painting, King said, is one of his favorites. "That's an oil painting that I did," King said. "I just like the symmetry of it and I like the blue cool tones of it." His fascination with downtown fuels his passion. "I love all the architecture and the old buildings in downtown," King said. "And I like to take them and colorize them with more intense colors than they naturally would be. I like to sometimes focus on a sec- tion of architecture, like a window, the cupola on the Market House or a sign on a building, to try to enhance it and make it larger than life." And — thanks to the paintings hanging in Circa 1800 — the revital- ized heart of the city has jumped off the canvas. In 2012, King anticipates opening an art studio across from the First Baptist Church parking lot, at 227 Old St, in a building that once housed a business called The Maintenance Men. Considering what King has done to help build and maintain down- town Fayetteville, the building is a perfect fit.
