Glitter and Doom.

Up until the early sixties this door in a residential terrace was the unlikely entrance to the local cinema.

This was the first of a series of "edge of town " paintings, in which I have tried to paint the cusp space between urban and rural. I find ambiguity interesting as a way of delaying automatic labeling of spaces, hence hopefully triggering a deeper response in the viewer. The resulting painting is a bit too pretty , but is one of the very few I have done in this vein that does something like as it says on the tin.
