Strong shapes here Derek which make a good composition.

Like it Derek, well done.

Love it Derek. Agree with all comments.

Good design elements yet again Derek in this interesting piece.

Best use of credit/debit cards I've seen. Love the textures you create here and the colours. Looks like stained glass.

Cheers Louise, Ivan. dennis, Andre, Susan, Alan and Karyn. I maybe should have changed the big purple roof area in the middle but it was there and it's not a truly reastic piece.

You have caught the alpine atmosphere so well here Derek. Small houses in the valley surrounded by handsome mountains. Beautiful!

Good work with your cards again Derek.

Thanks Satu and Carole

The texture you have created here is energetic and pleasing. I love the layers of houses and roofs.....and I would not change that triangular purple one in the right of middle, it has many different colors in it...and is a very interesting shape, varies from the others. If anything, I would tone the mountains a bit lighter behind the trees to have the rooftops stay strong and focal. Great design to this. Hope you are well recovered too.

Thanks Nancy, your comment about the mountains is very knowledgable and considered, but I won't change it now.

... I'm whispering. I prefer yours. The mountain on the right just draws you cross. Great stuff.

Thank you Gudrun

30 x 22cns acrylics on gesso textured paper, all with credit/debit cards. Cobbled together from my many sketches and photos over the years. It did start out as my take on a Glyn Macey piece but my own stuff soon took over when I had done the skiy and horizon.

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
