Really like how you set your castles up to look a believable fortification with it's base of solid rocks. Great descriptive line work and limited palette.

I really like this Alan, great line work on the castle and I love the way the main rocks look like flowing lava and yet have that strength and solidity at the same time. I also like the colours used, limited in number but the colours of the earth and vegetation, a really nice piece.

Thank you all for some positive comments. As some of you will know, I always push the boundaries when it comes to style and particularly colour, I have to in my case, so that my enthusiasm for painting continues to flourish.
