Chinatown Saunter
oil 12x16
Here is one from a typical visit to one of my my framers ( framing house) on Broadway in Chinatown. Blowing out all the detail and simplifying the color to the point of silhouette. Turns out I have almost 10 paintingss up at the MJ Higgins group show. It's worth a visit!

Nice work! Really interesting combinations of colors. Great gleam on that shaved head.
the figures look very integrated in the image.
great painting as usual
Fabulous sense of place. Love the brushwork!
Love your stuff Wray!
Great color contrast of the roof (green gray) against the pink of the sky. Lamp is sculpted boldly and I like the details of the small windows on the bldg. Reminds me of one such day.....
Your ability to unify a painting with brushwork is inspiring..really beautiful surface you've created.
beautiful Bill ...nice edges -James
Nailed the reds, didn't you? I like it.
Very nice contrast of colors . . . also really great composition . . . looks great small, then I click on the image to see it larger, you make it look to easy . . . just a few brush strokes right? Awesome!!!
thnaks Don. I'm an expert on skin dome gleam.
This is nice. Especially the left figure. Was this plein air?
purty cool painting Bill. I see I'm not the only one with an appreciation of Chinatown! This one has a powerful vertical feel that brings my eye up to the top of the buildings. I like the way you are looking into the light, and the little spot of it that is hitting the guy in the FG.
thanks luis
Really Beautiful!:o)
If I want to have the book sent to the Netherlands can I use the link? Only $3 postage seems to little.
That red you chose is excellent. Great one, Bill!
You say you've simplified it Bill, but there's nothing simple about it. Simply amazijng, I guess. I love the way the "dark" tones aren't very dark. It really suggests the bright light. Lovely.
Oh, Bill...
I'm swooning a little bit. Your stuff is awesome.
dude - man - surfbum is right
this chinatown piece is beautiful ... hope you're doing well WW!
