ARCH1201--Project 2--Painting & Narrative

My painting is Office in a Small City by Edward Hopper in 1953.

My understand of this painting: the man sits in his office looking outside the city which shows he is lonely and isolated from the city. But the color of this painting is warm, which makes me think he is doing something warm by himself. And there are some roof and upper parts of other buildings outside his office, in my opnion this shows he is alone but he still wants to get out and some more social communications.

My narrative is: a man sits in his home office waiting a letter from his wife.

And my site is a quiet suburban town, like below.
