This is a recent painting I call: "Beijing Alleyway, 2015". Although it does not really truly convey the notion of the Chinese "hutong", a modern Beijing alleyway was nonetheless the inspiration for this painting. I was hoping it might convey a sense of "aloneness". You might think the same, or not think anything at all about this painting. Thank you for looking, anyway. I had originally intended to add shaded areas, light effects, etc., but I kind of like it in this simple, uncomplicated form. (oil and acrylic on canvas.)
