Did You Know?

The artist was nicknamed "Muley" for his stubbornly held opinions.
A vertically oriented oil painting in deep blue tones depicts a misty city street at night, created with soft, blended brushwork. A central figure in a dark blue coat and hat walks away, their form partially obscured by the atmosphere. Below, the wet pavement reflects glowing white streetlights and occasional pops of red and yellow. Indistinct figures and urban silhouettes fade into the dense, indigo haze of the background.
