Love the derelict look and the treatment of the bell. Tells a story.

I think you have succeeded in making the building look derelict David.

Lovely painting David, somewhere I'd like to go to

Good history and current use - very good painting of the building.

Lovely old sense of place.

Excellent painting David, I always wonder what stories these places could tell if they could speak

Love the look of dereliction and the interesting reference to the bell David. You have achieved a great sense of place David.

Wow fab work David. Lovely painting. You have made it look derelict for sure.

This is wonderful David! My favourite of your recent posts. I love the way you have painted the buildings.

Also I have tried to make the scene look somewhat derelict whereas it is actually a thriving wine producing estate.
