She lived at 1323 Kalamath st, Denver, Co The actual subject of the painting is Davis' wife Edna Juanita (Cotter) Davis "Nita". They advertised the painting as that from the poem " The Face on the Barroom Floor" by Hugh Antoine D'Arcy. Whatever the inspiration, Davis did not sign his work, and soon the bar's owners chose to capitalize on it. Jimmy held a candle for me and I painted as fast as I could. After midnight, when the coast was clear, we slipped down there. Still the idea haunted me, and in my last night in Central City, I persuaded the bellboy Jimmy Libby to give me a hand.
