I like the vivid colours, Derek. The simplicity and vastness of the sky help to draw attention to the buildings without their becoming overwhelming in the composition.

Thanks Wib. This piece is no way near what I intended. I wanted to depict pure shapes, not buildings even and I got carried away.

Very quick, somewhat crude, but I basically started off with shapes and got more involved. With big sky areas I drift to using watercolours.

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.
