Night Time Stroll

This image is best seen for the deep focus. The very first thing that the viewer notices is the great distance that the eye can travel in to the horizon in this particular picture. It is a night scene and the contrast between the artificial light from the night lamps by the side of the side walk and the natural darkness of the night has been rendered in the painting in a very versatile manner. In fact, the lamps lighted in the mist of the nature with the trees, the water body and the far off horizon creates subversion in the painting. While the man made pavement and the road remains within the reach of the light, the water body is submerged in the natural darkness. Thus, while perfectly blending in the two very different elements the portrait hints at the extremely different natures of the two that can never be mixed up. The road has water from a shower that has occurred very recently. The light glistening on the drops of water look extremely life like and bring a touch of realism in to the picture. Ultimately there are two lone figures that can be seen to be walking away in to the distance.
