Painting of K&B Drugs Sign

By Billlives

Here is a 16" x 20" paintinng of the the classic K&B Drug store sign. They were a familar sight all over New Orleans during my childhood. There was one I went by often at the corner of Oak Street and Carollton Ave. As the wikip[edia states, "K&B (Katz and Besthoff) was a drug store chain headquartered in New Orleans. Founded in 1905, it expanded to have stores in the United States Gulf Coast region until it was purchased by Rite Aid in 1997." A Rite Aid store now stands where the old K&B was located at Oak and Carollton. 

  

In New Orleans there are currently paintings hanging at two of my favorite New Orleans restaurants. One is Willie Mae's Uptown. It is located at 7457 St. Charles Ave., New Orleans, 504-417-5424. Here is a post describing the showing of at Willie Mae’s. Anoter is Riccobono's Panola Street CafeHere is a post describing the showing at Riccobono's. It is located at 7801 Panola Street (504 314-1810). You can also contact me to see more of them. There are 17 paintings at the Albert Brown Salon located at 3424 Magazine Street in New Orleans. Here is a post about the Albert Brown show with all of the images. 

The easiest to see most of my paintings for sale is to go to my Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/bill.ives2 - and look at Photos and albums within Photos. I have three photo albums covering my art. One is for discounted pairings under $100.  The other is for most of the rest (over $100). The third is for paintings that I have either sold or ones that are not for sale. However, if anyone is interested in them I will paint another version for them on commission. I will ship anywhere and have shipped art works as far as Australia.
