EROS

Comments

Well done, trying to paint all those people and buildings would have driven me mad but you've done them perfectly. Like the way the light catches the top of Eros. A wonderful watercolour.

Another nice piece. You certainly make one view this familiar landmark with a fresh perspective.

Thank you all for your great comments. Yes Val, I was getting frustrated too with all the figures. The more I looked the more I discovered. I took the photo last May, been meaning to paint ever since. Happy New Year to you all.

Well worth the wait Fred. An outstanding work. You clearly have a lot more patience than I do!

I was attracted by the tourist's sitting under Eros , tweeting and drinking their Costas and Colas! I prefered Eros when it was in the middle of Piccadilly Circus instead of shunted into the corner. Watercolour and pen . 11x8in.
