If on a Winter’s Night 1

This original cityscape study by impressionist Michael Alford applies the classic techniques to a contemporary urban night scene of a busy thoroughfare. The artist creates an impression of glowing illuminations in soft blue and orange hues that emit from the accents of the surrounding architecture and urban features, giving the sulken, misty evening an electrictryfying and mystyfying radiance. Employing impasto layers which produces a great sense of depth through interesting textures, the artists conveys and evokes the swarming ambience of the metropolis setting within his rendering of paint work. This piece is painted in oils on panel, hand signed by the artist and framed, ready to be displayed.
