nightlife-

this is my painting for sec 3 eoy practical :D i sort of forgot the theme but i think its nightlife.

the painting depicts a city at night, where the clubs are open and DJs start rocking and concerts and starting and children are avoiding bed time and reading. to the right of the painting, the sky starts to lighten and day comes and cars are seen streaming into the city as people go to school and work and start another day.

my concept for this picture is "the city that never sleeps". because night time is traditionally the time where people go to sleep and cease activity for the day, i hoped to show a sense of irony in this picture that although it is night time, no one is asleep. quite the contrary actually, people are just as active at night as in day, and the addition of day coming and cars coming in and out of the city adds to the effect that the life in a city is just as active at night as in the day.

and if you look close enough,

you'll see a city that never sleeps;;
