Dream Street

Another upright panorama format painting this time as part of my strand of work I loosely call "Figurative" on my website. A Hopper-ish view looking down on a solitary figure walking up a deserted street, early morning sunlight streaming in from the left. I am trying (hence the title) to get a dreamlike quality to the picture by keeping finicky detail to a minimum so that it doesn't have the appearance of a real street and together with the lighting I hope that this atmosphere gets across. I may take this to Illuxcon as I feel that there should be work there that is Imaginative Realism in it's wider context and I think that this painting could fit into that category. Oil on canvas 11 3/4" x 11 1/2". There is a step-by-step progress through this painting in earlier posts in this blog.
