Bedtime story - 23x30.5cm / Oil painting on canvas panel

Previously exhibited at A2 in central Tokyo, Japan. This painting is ready to be shipped when purchased.

"Bedtime story" is an original oil painting and is an imagined scene.
The lights from the houses lead the viewer down the road and into the lakeside town.
The moon shines bright in the cloudless sky, as the sparkling stars lead you around the deep blue abyss before bringing you back down to earth.
If you look closely you can see distant lights reflecting across the water and mountains rising in to the background.
This painting was somewhat inspired by Haruki Murakami's 1Q84. I constantly had to resist the urge to incorporate a second moon.
