Good composition with the historical castle and the industrial piece Alan. Attractive palette.

Thanks Carole, shocking photo actually, the browns are a Burnt Sienna mix and much more vibrant.

It is a lovely well balanced composition as Carole says, Alan. The warm colours, very attractive, love the directional strokes too.

Great colour Alan. A lot to take in when out there in the elements.

Fascinating scenery Alan. I love the warm colours and the tranquility of the sketch.

Stunning as usual, Alan. Love how you managed the aerial perspective and the many layers of this painting. It's beautifully done.

16in square oil on board, painted at the scene yesterday from this great vantage point at Western Downs. I will return next week and try and develop a few more of these sketches and perhaps work on a larger canvas later on, weather permitting as always.
