Another Roadside America painting. I think I am honing it down as to what I am looking for in these pictures, relatively ordinary American roadside locations often painted in a quite almost romantic light but always deserted. Has something happened or is it just a quiet moment? A feeling of unease without any obvious clues so it's left up to the viewer to make up their own narrative as to what's going on... or not.
Still playing around with reds, this time based more around pinks and reds, it reminds me of a Magritte painting "Empire of Light" (I think that's the title) which is no bad thing. Maybe the pink is too much here and pushes it towards kitsch a bit... dunno.
Oil on mdf 18 1/2" x 18 1/2"
There is a step-by-step progress through this painting including what colours I used in previous posts on this blog.
