This painting is so nostalgic and realistic, and yet so oniric at the same time <3 Almost like dreaming of a very distant memory... It's incredible!

Oniric is a fun new word, that which is pertaining to dreams. And I totally agree with your assessment of this painting.

This one is very noir but feels so lively and exciting. I love this one. I didn't think I could be happy with a rainy theme. I suppose it's the warm colors as opposed to the greyed scale in most rain depictions. Thank you for this. Saved. 🌞
