Description
22x28 oil on linen canvas. Β This painting started out to depict a random street scene, but as I began painting the people a narrative started to emerge. I then tried to portray how individual stories all converge in a moment of time. Comments welcome , hope you enjoy. ΒRelated content

This is really beautiful, your mastery of shadow and light is very apparent here. I love how you use tones of blue and orange to really make color come alive. Gorgeous work as always, Kevin.

The trees in the background are immensely tall and may seem strange to the viewer...but for me I see a street in this reality that leads to a fantastical land of imagination.Β Am I right in thinking maybe this is where everyone is going?Β Maybe this place is the last stop before stepping into another realm.Β

Thanks for the comment...it is helpful for me to take this in. Β I believe now that I miss the mark with the background, it was done very early on in the painting, it is actually a cliff with trees on top, but I can see how this may not be obvious. Β Despite this miss on my part, I love your interpretative take, the image takes on new meaning.Β

Very colorful. Although somewhat strange landscape background. Anyway, I like. Good job.

Thanks Alex for the feedback, a good critique is always welcome. The street is an actual place in Italy that came from a photo. Β Initially I used the photo but then quickly switched gears to use my imagination. Β I think you keenly picked up that there may be a bit of incoherence in the image, your feedback helped me reflect on that...thanks.Β
