Empire of Light II

1. This painting I got the impression that it represents the quietness of nature, how there is not a single human or animal being shown.

2.The title of this painting is Empire of Light II, to me this empire light is the sky because it stands out more than the actual lamp that doesn't even lighten up the neighborhood as much

3&4.This artist chose to do the painting with oil paint which i see it is what makes it seem smooth , like I just look at the painting and think of smoothness

5.the lamp in this neighborhood is small compared to long the block is and barely lightens it up

6.you can tell the time this painting is taking place it was when the streets were made of stones and those lamps were used often. now a days you rarely see those lamps in the streets.

10&12&13. The darkening of the neighborhood sense to me that people who like quietness live there, or that even if people are having bad days since the tress are all black and some parts of the neighborhood are darkened as well , the lighting of the sky shows us that there are always brighter days since its what mostly stands out with the light blue color and white clouds.
