Ghost in the Machine (2016)Oil painting by Emma Cownie

I was struck by this ghostly figure looking out of the driver seat of this car, speeding through a dark, rain drenched night in the inner city area of Uplands in Swansea. The night was quite foul and the colours heavy and unpretty. I have tried to catch this in the muted, almost metallic, industrial colours of the urban sky and streets. This is a city night when the city is hostile and foreboding, sending out a warning to stay indoors.
