Signs of Delight

Photorealistic painting of the corner "Wishing Well" bar. The building is toned in light blue (on near front), shadowed in a deep aqua blue around curve of corner/side (right), and is trimmed in red. A shiny silver metal door with one small diamond window is at the rounded corner, surrounded by glass block windows and a right side plate glass window. Numerous signs adorning the building include: high above door, a scripted neon (pink) "Wishing Well" with a round decorative framed picture of a wishing well; just below is a red and white Coca-Cola sign; and at top of far right side is a neon (white) and green "Well/Cocktails" sign. In the foreground near the door is a dual "Ivanhoe/No Parking" street sign; and at right on sidewalk is a glassed bus stop with a diffused human figure inside.
