Good drawing of a complicated scene, the buildings are well painted. The problem with painting from photos I find is that they exaggerate the darkness of shaded areas. Those almost black trees really make a barrier here. Perhaps you could lift off some of the pigment?

This has a bolder feeling than some of your other work. Almost like old storybook illustrations. I like it personally.

Thank you very much Annie for your kind remarks.

Thank you Stephen for your valued comments.I agree with what you say about photos because the photo of this painting is atypical example. The trees on the painting are a nice green ,totally different to what the photo is telling us.
