Hillside Suburb; Distant City
Acrylic on canvas; 2014. 112 cm x 142 cm. A deliberate change from Side Street Reflection, New-Build Apartments and Retail Park Drive-Thru in that there is no flat near-elevation of a structure set back from the picture plane. Instead there is a deep recession and formal design elements referenced from Baroque landscapes, a foreground tree, foreground shadow and a sunlit distant vista. As in the other paintings, moving and parked cars, plus distant pedestrians were edited out at the working drawing stage.
