This painting contains a hotch pot of styles. My idea is that somewhere in this chaotic mix something surprising and unexpected emerges. Its my version of Spanglish, I think it works. I have always liked early David Hockney when he was painting in an almost collage style and very graphic. I think the way I have done it is with the aim to make a subtle unified picture. This is a night time photo and the difference to the ‘Day 3’ day time photo is quite noticeable. The picture is finished.
