Ah...a visual reminder of why I fled northern Virginia to live in rural Florida! One can 'feel' the city immediately in this work...! jean

I enjoyed studying this fascinating painting, Bill. I still muse about living in a 'romanticized shoebox' somehwere in Greenwich...just for a few years...maybe. I wonder if 3102 may have come available . . . . . :)) FAV/L

hi Barbara -- the top line is my Madison Ave. Penthouse when I was a billionaire -- the trees are Central Park -- the bar is one of my favorite -- score by Beethoven -- Ersel Hickey (logo for rock n' roll) -- AND 3102 was my childhood adress (3102 Kingsbridge Ave.).

Brilliant ! You have portrayed the 24/7, busy, busy...exhausting lifestyle in the city so well! Superb concept and execution, Bill. L/F

... thanks Rosemary --it was a crazy life, had to get away! But, you know, sometimes .........
Barbara Chase
What can I say! I'll start with Fabulous!!! I always loved walking and gazing up at the big city windows and wondering what story is unfolding behind.......... :)) NYC energy is so perpetual and vibrant. Fav
Bill OConnor replied:
thanks Barbara -- even after living there most of my life it still amazed me. The energy, the craziness, the humor, the arts, the food and yes, even the "near misses"!

Busy, complex, ambitious, creative, artful, fashionable, multidimensional, accelerating but wearing and tiring sometimes, and still so attractive as a magnet - your painting reflects New York life so perfectly well- astonishingly expressive artwork Bill, just love it! Fav/Like
Bill OConnor replied:
Tanya --wowee, terrific analysis Tanya! Thank you. The crazy years of Manhattan living almost "got me." I escaped! I was so much in the bar scene (having designed/owned so many) that, after a while the "glamour" wears off. I would, so often, just hide in the Met Museum, just staring at the art. When I hit 60, I bailed!
