The picture above looks like a blurry photograph-- the one taking the photo might have not set it on focus before clicking. But if you look closely, it's actually a painting.
Philip Barlow paints lanscapes in a different perspective. His artworks seem to be hazy photographs with a lot of
bokeh going on. The art he creates are usual scenarios but depicted atypically which shapes views that mixes reality and dream. However, he is not aiming for surrealism; he wants them to be as familiar as possible.

He celebrates the beauty of light in his pieces-- he discussed his fascination of his favorite subject in his website's bio:
"The figures in the landscape serve as carriers and reflectors of the light that falls upon them. Bathed in the luminosity, it is my hope that they would become more beautiful. To me, light is the ultimate subject because it embodies the pinnacle of all reality."
