A cleaner-lined work. An interesting point: What is NOT shown is almost as important as what is.........sublime portrayed.Has that element of myustery and I almost like it as much as abstracts......colours chosen are very complimentary as you already know i am sure and this adds to the scene well as it keeps things cool/toned down..one has the delight of being involved yet detached from the consequences implied through the window.......

allowances made, i love this one!

a beautiful piece. thanks for letting me view this piece.

I really like the lines and shadows and colors in this one. Really like it!

Almost an institutional feel. Basic stripped down.
Confining with the only outlet the window to the world and escape made possible perhaps by the fire escape shadowed outside.
The focus is the salvation and freedom provided by the intrusion of the outside light and window; with the interior and all its sharp edges pointing to the hope of sky and imagination.

Three words Simon
I love it.

Well done! I love the composition and the lighting. The colors are subdued and understated. Wonderful!

I was drawn to this by the colours and lines initially, and have read the other comments with interest.
My interpretation of the message (for art must have a message) -is that the shadow (balcony?) of something that is not actually there and the inviting sunshine - are tempting the viewer to step out and enjoy the view or the beautiful blue of things beyond normal life - then the decision in my mind - am I stepping into something wonderful or into oblivion. Will the drop be an escape to freedom from the confines of the boredom of the room or will it be a sure leap into nothingness when the familiar room (life?) is left behind. I don't need to know to enjoy the image but it sure made me think.
Is it a case of courage v. cowardice or folly v. wisdom.
Or curiosity killing the proverbial cat.
I think I feel a miaow coming on.

I really love the composition of this - thanks a lot for sharing :-)

looks so real friend amazing. well done

a window to ones dreams...

Masterful, Simon. The shadows of what are unseen speak volumes... the warm sunlight, the patch of blue, the shadows cry freedom, juxtaposed against the clean right angles and brooding colours of the room... This piece speaks eloquently and personally to me.

It strikes me as a beautiful evening in late summer - not sure if it was though. I imagine some traffic and voices drifting up through the portal, too. It's just how it hits me! Love the colors, are they "true" to what you painted, or do they look different to you in this online format. My eyes are drawn to the stark shadow of the nearby railing - very piercing. How old is old? Does art really have an age? It is a wonderful piece and makes me wonder if it was peaceful to paint. cheers, Quiet
