Captured the atmosphere so well here!

Thank you Dennis.

Thanks Karen.

My favourite bit of this great painting is the lady on the left with her walking stick.

Another lovely scene capturing life - great painting Barry.

I hadn't noticed the lady on the left, she seems in a world of her own. Creates a narrative.

Thank you Gudrun, pleased you like her as she is my own creation and obviously fits in ok.

Thank you Adele and Stephen, the lady on the left seems to be a talking point. I wanted some shape and colour in that area and as you say Stephen it adds narrative.

Thanks for calming my doubts Satu.

I think that this is an excellent piece Barry, a tricky subject.

It's half imperial on Arches 140lb rough paper. Didn't get all my washes right first time which has resulted in me using too much opaque paint and a slightly muddy look.
