Traffic Lights

Now, I really like this. Very effective.

Thanks Gudrun

So do I Derek! It's brilliant!

Super work, Derek. Like the low evening light and the atmospheric feel of the piece.

Excellent Derek you are always adventurous and lively with a marvellous colour sense

Thanks Fiona, Seok and dennis

Good strong image - almost abstract

Thanks Michael, so please tell me what would have made it abstract.

I would call it semi-abstract as I can clearly make out a scene ie traffic lights etc. To make it fully abstract it would need to be entirely non-representational. At least that's my theory - others may have different ideas. Not that any of really matters - - it's a good painting whatever hook you want to hang it on.

Thank Michael, your explanation is worth me thinking about and well said and expressed.
