Beautiful, haunting work, like a Tom Waits song in oil paint. This is what I wanted to do with my life but instead find myself developing web applications and the occasional public site/marketing materials for the world's largest textbook publishing company. Stephen's work makes me wish I perhaps had followed a different path. Along with Hopper and Whistler, I see a little John Register as well.

I also immediately thought of Whistler, very rich, moody atmospheres and buildings obscured by fog. He's a wonderful painter, his site is worth a daily visit.

I am also reminded of Hopper by some of his solitary buildings or nocturnes with an occasional light on in a window. His bridge nocturnes are also amazing. Great color harmonies.

I agree that the rough strokes really add something, and the colors are fantastic. These are gorgeous. I agree that the rough strokes really add something, and the colors are fantastic.
