Street Level

12″ x 12″ Mixed media on canvas

It’s rare for me to paint anything figurative but sometimes I see a shape or object and I enhance it, which is what happened with this mixed media painting. It’s mostly acrylic, but I also used some oil pastels to add some details.

“Street Level” is what I would call abstract impressionism. I see a large building with big glass windows all lit up from the inside. The building has a rounded corner, and maybe that’s a guy riding a bicycle down the dark street after a light rain? Could it be, perhaps, a scene from a New Orleans street front?

I’d be curious if you see anything different?

Have a great week everyone! 🌞🎨🌼

    Wonderful work, Tiffany 😍 I think that the curved lines of the rounded building leads ones eye towards the downtown area, and the bicyclist on a liner pathway reinforces that movement. Have a great week!

    I can see you`re street and the cyclist.
    I think it`s a foggy night. Clothes are hanging on clotheslines between the houses. I feel put back in time. Maybe because of the blue, it makes me think of night/dark.
    The house could also be an old ship and the person cycling down the harbour.

    I think I see many of the same things, Tiffany – the bicyclist, the semblance to New Orleans (and Paris!) and can feel the glow of both places with all their sensuousness and mystery! Which is very much you! ❀️ Tweeted! 😊

      Haha! Yes, I seriously thought I saw someone riding a big wheel too!!! 🀣 And it’s extra weird that the Shinning keeps popping up in my world this week, it may be time to watch it and get all freaked out again!

    The rounded corner of the building makes it feel more modern than New Orleans. I would totally live in your painting.

    I love this! It is alive and moving and so full of color. Funny you mention New Orleans, as I see a Jazz musician living large and loving it.

    I love this piece so much. I see the rounded building with 3 levels. The top 2 have balconies. I get the feeling of a street late at night after everything is shutting down. The street has cleared while shop owners close and lock up. Fantastic work.
