The paving slabs are excellent, just enough detail as you wanted to achieve. I think the figures are good, and fit nicely with the style of the painting overall. The two nearest figures have a good natural stance. There is a slight perspective problem with the large building, the right hand section isn't quite in line with the middle section. But overall, it's a very enjoyable painting, Gary, with nice clarity for acrylics. Well done.

For me its a great play with shapes - love it

Acrylics on canvas board, 16x12". This one is a challenge from my art class. For me the biggest challenge was the people as figures and faces are without doubt my weakpoint. Overall I am OK with this picture but I think I could have done a better job with the buildings. My favourite part is the paving slabs in the foreground as I think(?) I have got just enough detail without painting every slab. Comments welcome.
