Beautiful light and shadows, Dennis, and lovely figures as always.

Thanks Cesare very much appreciated

Interesting method Dennis. Lovely piece. The light superbly painted.

Many thanks Henry try that method but don't look at the scene once you start painting or you'll copy it. That's not the idea.

brilliant painting very good work on your figures and buildings lovley work xx

Thanks Paula very much, comments very much appreciated

Good use of tone here Dennis, the dark figures in the foreground shadow make the light areas shine. I read in an art book once that when painting from a photo, to do a quick sketch and then turn the photos over and paint the picture, a similar idea. Again has a feel of Seago and Wesson's style, which I like.

Thanks Stephen,. Yes I've had some of my best paintings doing that . Give it a try Stephen. By the way mate I like your painting's lately you have improved a lot I think.

I think you're very clever to do that Dennis - If I turn round, I forget where I am! Love this, lots of bright sunlight.

You paint so many interesting scenes in your lovely style Dennis. All a joy to look at.
