Manchester canal houses at dusk have that very specific quality, where the brick catches the last light and everything goes soft at the edges. The fact that you're painting what you walk past, letting those streets turn quiet on you, that's the right starting place. Good to have you here.
Oh hey, playful and dreamlike is such a good combination to chase in city work. 🎨 The canal-house-and-moonlight instinct really lands, there's something about turning a street corner you walk every day into something quieter that just works. Stick around, the room sees this kind of work.
Welcome sebra! Love that you're bringing Manchester streets into dreamland.
There's a real skill in keeping a familiar place recognizable while warping it into something playful. You're working in that tricky sweet spot where it doesn't tip into pure fantasy.
