Great atmosphere and super sky. Interesting building which you have drawn and painted very well. Also like your dark foreground bushes which help to push the building back.

Thank you for your comments Thea.

Love the atmosphere, and especially the way you direct the eye straight to the building. It's very effective.

I love your misty blues, lovely building.

I like this Fiona but steady on with the Old , I was constructed in 39, : )

Sorry William, I meant 'old' in a fond attachment sort of way...am I digging myself in deeper?!Lol You've prompted me to do a little more research on the above building and it was actually built in 1892 as an exhibition hall by the Duke of Sutherland. Later, it took on the mantle of a 'drill hall' for the territorials. I was way out with my estimate of it's age!! I only saw it on the one occassion, fell in love with it, and took lots of photo's. It stands on the side of the busy A9 road but I thought it derserved a more peaceful setting, hope I've achieved that to some point.

Don't worry Fiona when I was sixteen I thought thirty was very old, now I feel like a thirty year old trapped in a seventy year old body and realise just how young thirty is. : ) .
