Summer Shadows 2, Provence

Looks good, did u chang the left hand bank?

Sorry change, think the figures are a good idea.

Super piece, Stephen. Your oils are really lovely. If I could perhaps make a small comment - perhaps the line of the background mountain range should be moved a little lower or higher, and the mountain range toned down a bit, so it doesn't look like it's a continuation from the roof of the building. Other than that, it is just lovely.

Many thanks for your kind remarks Seok and Pauline. You are right Seok about the slight confusion between the building and the mountain, I did'nt spot that until I posted it on POL! I cropped the psotograph Pauline, as I felt there was too much shadow on the left. Not so easy to cut the board down though!

Lovely painting Stephen ,and I like the two figures ,I always feel a painting looks better with a figure or animal in it ,the colours are lovely ,very good work

Many thanks Dermot, have you been on the Postcard from Provence website? There are some lovely oil paintings there by Julian Merrow Smith.
