This is a painting that I never get tired of looking at because it creates an excitement in me. Somehow, when I look at it, it takes me to Broadway in San Francisco and going to Jazz clubs. There were a few clubs there a long while back. The one I remember the best is Sugar Hill. It was always a weekend night. The streets were wet sometimes, and the neon lights would reflect on the street. The music would stir up the air around me and all would be a mini hurricane. We would stay in one place, move to another. Always we toook an air of excitement with us.This is what this painting evokes in me.
I do not know the title. It was painted by W. Nielsen. It is oil on canvas. There is no date on the back. 22" x 26".

Isn't it wonderful to have a painting evoke such sweet memories! I like it...you have a treasure.
I love the imagery that is evoked by this painting. You know the place, the mood, the colors, sounds...it must give you so much pleasure.
This painting is one of my favorites in your collection. The depth of the brick reds, the blue reds, the pulse! Wow!
