Super perspective and marvellous drawing skills. What a lovely building.

Very nice Mia, as always ! I'm running out of things to say about these! I keep using the word "delicate" to describe them, but they are!

Great perspective Mia and beautifully drawn. I have a deja vue feeling about this?

Thank you very much for your lovely comments, Lesley, Louise and Carole. Yes, Carole I posted this a time ago but wasn't pleased with the green of the tree (not enough contrast with the building behind). So I darkened the green and now I think it is better.

Lovely building and your wonderful pen and wash technique really does it justice. I didn't see the previous one, but I think the tone of the tree is just right and enhances the building. Super work, Mia.

Lovely again Mia .

Thanks Thea, Denise and Amanda, I appreciate your positive comments very much.

What can I add to the above......except, I like it very much.

Wow Mia, I would not have had the slightest idea how to convert a scene like that into an eye catching painting, but you've more than succeeded in doing that! It's a lovely piece, and I think Fiona puts it best. Like her, I just like it very very much.

Thank you very much Fiona and Seok for your lovely comments. Seok, this street corner with the lonely tree caught my attention while we were walking through the narrow streets of this little village high up in the Champagne mountains: I had to take a photo of this, so...

Just a simple street corner, but it has had your wonderful treatment of it Mia and it has transcended what was and become something much more fabulous thanks to you
