This is the third in my "The Sleeping City" series and possibly the first in a number of paintings that will be about pools of light in areas of shadows. Here we have a run down section of town with low rise buildings behind which are the skyscrapers of the much more affluent downtown part of town which is either separated from the other by a river or in keeping with the title, railway tracks. There is still the obvious Edward Hopper influence in here but maybe this one won't have the slightly desolate feel of the earlier painting "Bar & Grill".
This the initial tonal underpainting stage using my usual mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and applied with a rag and flat brush.
Oil on fine cotton 16" x 12"
