The second painting paraphrases two similar photographs in a reduced light mirroring one phase in the changing conditions of the shop space. What drama there may be is derived from the qualities of light at the moment the photographs were taken. Neither of the photographs is faithfully reproduced, but altered as the painting evolved and began to determine its own future and anticlimax.
