Lovely townscape, with some particularly interesting use of colour in the detail. Like this a lot.

Thank you, Lesley.

A difficult rooftop scene done very well. The light and shadows bring it to life.

The shapes and tones used here seem just right to me. love it Harry

There's always a charm, and many points of interest, in roofscapes, especially when as well done as this. I like the way you've not over-defined everything, but the detail is there if you look and in just the right place and proportion.

A very attractive painting, I like the variety of unusual angles, and the colours you have used.

What appeals to me is the almost abstract nature of your composition, it would be an interesting exercise to use the elements and produce a real abstract and I think it would be a pleasing result - should I watch this space?

Sylvia - no, don't look for an abstract from me. I think that a figurative painting based on a strong abstract composition provides the best of both worlds. I prefer Richard Diebenkorn's mid-period figuration to either of his abstract phases for that very reason.

You're very kind.
