There is a low sun in the sky and ruins on the horizon; there is a newspaper on the pavement and the red shoes suggest the traces of a woman. This painting from 2013 loosely corresponds to the ideas I explored in my 2010 novel The Night Traveller (as MJ Maguire) in which my protagonist loses his sense of reality as his dreams begin to challenge his understanding of the world of his senses... Initially there was to have been a woman approaching from the distance, but in the end I decided she should not have such a substantive presence and the shoes alone are sufficient to suggest her importance in the scene.
