Bill's


Here is yet another look at Bill's as I move forward with this book project. I've got my 12 classic New York bars on the go as well as the other bars that have a more personal significance for me. It's starting to take shape but there is so much more to do. Onwards and upwards.

What size are you doing your series of bars paintings?

Love the color on this one. The warm doors are so inviting against their cool surroundings.

Hi Stephen
I have followed many of your sketches but I like this work very much.
Clever balance of colour and a terrific composition.
I look forward to seeing more in the series.
Best Regards
