Love the painting Dermot, and the city, gorgeous :)

Yes, Dermot, you've just got that almost blinding sunshine beyond the deep shadow. What medium? Looks like w.c. With added acrylic?

Nice atmospheric painting Dermot some lovely colours and a nice balanced composition.

Never been to stay, one solitary business trip in the 70s. This makes me want to visit again for a while and find these spots you paint so well Dermot. Smashing work.

Wonderful light!

I'm struck as well by the shadows, very well controlled oil painting Dermot, nice technique.

I love the sunlight shinning through the leaves, Dermot.

Dermot, this is super - fantastic feeling of sunlight and shadow.

Another cracking oil Dermot, love that foreground shadow, works a treat, sets up the whole painting.

Great light and shade Dermot

Simple, elegant and eye-catching, Dermot. Those broad brushstrokes and shapes work beautifully.

Love the great contrast Dermot, beautiful work.

Great light and shadows. Like the brush strokes.

The shadows frame the rest of this painting beautifully Dermot!

Hi Dermot. If you are on a desk top, don't search in the box in the top right hand corner. The one you want is called 'search gallery' on left side, or you go to 'art community' then artists search. Hope that helps! Gudrun.

Great tonal value creating a dramatic painting Dermot

I love this painting Dermot...You have achieved a beautiful balance between the strong sunlight and the deep shadows, and I love the dappled light comimg through the trees.

Thanks Dermot for your comments. Searching works if you just type in Gudrun or Sharpley on their own. Thanks for letting me know. I shall raise that as a concern as that's not very useful!

Great painting Dermot. Love the way you've trapped the light between the shadows

Painted in oils ...... Dublin is a delightfully compact beautiful city and a joy for artist looking for decent subject matter , I painted this en plein air whilst sitting under the beautiful shade of a welcome tree , I was struck by the shadows and light and the delightful patterns they made
