Moonlight Alley

I asked a friend to come up with an idea for something I should paint, and this is the subject he came up with.

The painting is what I came up with, after many failed attempts, re-paintings and croppings. I think I cropped it about 7 times before it ended up like this. Early in the painting of this I decided it was too awkward for my skills at the time and repainted it in a much simpler fashion ( [link] )

Some months later I came back to the original file and pushed it to a pleasant completion.
