Ceremonial Arch

Your mind is really flying now, isn't it - no pun intended! An interesting composition and one that gets the viewer thinking. The plane is a great addition, but perhaps it would have been even better if you had painted in a few of the Red Arrows - they always turn up at ceremonies, don't they - and that splash of red would have looked wonderful. Just an idea, but love your painting as it is.

Thanks Thea, the plane was painted very badly, so yes if I'd thought about it, the Red Arrows would have been better, little red splashes not distinctive would have worked.

I think the plane breaks up the symmetry of the painting, Derek, so it's nicely done. Good tonal work too.

Thanks Seok,
