It’s a superb painting Alan , I do like your choice of palette, once again everything you need to recognise the scene without over doing it .

Thanks Paul, the colours are a touch more vibrant than on screen, but it’s too dull a day to take decent photos!

The afternoon glow is special on thesebuildings Alan and you've expressed it well here. A gorgeous painting.

Good to see one of your paintings again Alan, after you’ve been busy with sketches for The Artist. Lovely warm feel to this. And such a different palette now.

This caught my eye but I swear I did not realise it was yours Alan, it’s kind of muted but in certain areas you’ve caught the light on some of the buildings and it’s worked so brilliantly !! Love this one.👍👌🙏

Monet-like colours here, really love the atmosphere.
