Another alley painting - same alley as the last one I posted,

16. Painting the snow in warm colors works very well

I particularly like the road which looks like it’s related by driving the cars on it. It has that muddy look of snow crushed by the wheels of the cars and lit by the glow of street lights and porch lights of the houses. Warm beacons so drivers can find their way to their respective garages. The road to home for drivers.

The color of the sky is so warm it makes the painting inviting. I’ve seen winter nights like that, which glow and make you think of a soft mantle that might be the origin of that glow or the reflected warmth of city lights. The back alley is also man made and homey. The viewer’s perspective makes me think someone who knows that spot and has an attachment to it as a welcoming beacon painted it. It’s a different perspective on a subject that is usually scary in some way. This alley is familiar and has warmth. Welcoming warmth maybe?
