Capri roof tops by Carole Russell

Dramatic composition. I love the crispness of the buildings and the vibrant colour of the foliage in the background. It feels hot in the painting, especially with the deep shadows.

What a busy girl you are, this must have taken ages. I especially like the rocks, and the perspective is good too.

Great job indeed, it must have taken ages. I feel on holiday looking at it. Very well done.

Thank you Thea - it was very hot that day, so I'm glad it came through in the painting

Cheers Robert, I'm glad the perspective works - for some reason I struggle with that especially with the different levels of the buildings

Thank you Beatrice. Took a couple of sessions - I needed to get away from a piazza scene I'm working on - needed something different for a break!

Well painted Carole, it certainly takes me back to Capri. You really have captured "feel" of the place. Bill.

Hi Carole, (followed the link from visit my gallery thread). This is particularly vibrant colourful, beautifully detailed and technically brilliant...It is perhaps your best large scene painting that I have so far seen...and I agree with all the comments here...Well done.

Wow, what a lot of time and patience this must of taken but it's certainly paid off. Makes me wish I was there. Thanks also for your comments on my pastel painting, much appreciated.

Thank you so much Bill, Val and especially Phil for your lovely comments - I feel quite humbled! Must be doing something right at the moment When were you on Capri Bill - did you love it as much as me?

Hi Carole, Love the bold contrasts you make, thanks for showing, best wishes, colleen
