When I first saw this painting I immediately thought it looked like Palm Springs California but I later found out the artist is living in Tucson Arizona so it could easily be a scene from Tucson. The painting is called "The Green Car" and it was painted in 2018 by Andy Burgess.
Burgess is a British artist who now lives in Tucson. He calls his work "Pop Geometry" and is known for his abstract depictions of modernist architecture. He was born in London England the son of actor John Burgess and his wife Lana. He studied political science at the University of Leeds and actually interned for a Labour Party member, Jack Straw. However, he started taking night classes in art and switched his interests to the art studies.
He says he was inspired by artists like Piet Mondrian, David Hockney and Edward Hopper. I can certainly see a resemblance to the work of all three of those artists.
I found this painting at the Phoenix Art Museum.
