They are certainly running, Nice blurred effect background and foreground. Well done.

Only just caught this before it got pushed off the front page. This is brilliant; such a sense of movement and variation of colours. I bet it took hours; each person in a totally different pose. I love how you faded and blurred them out in the distance and got a sense of movement in every person. There's just one tiny tiny bit that annnoys me . Now that I've noticed it I can't take my eyes off it. Two people on the left with exactly the same arm placement; one in yellow, one in white with red shadow. I keep getting draw back to those two arms.

Great idea for a painting executed with such skill and patience. So colourful and full of energy.

Great, this looks really challenging. Good idea.

Glad you all like it. Diana - these arm things happen, even in real life. As the picture is quite big (4 ft square), I don't think you'd notice the "annoying" arms as much were you to be in front of it.

I'm sure you are right. It's just one of those things that , once you've noticed it you get drawn to it very time. I'm like that with patterns in wallpaper too LOL. Just saw the red balloons; another smashing painting full of light.

Yet another amazing unusual scene and this one crammed full of runners of course, you have really caught the vibrancy of the moment here Harry and how they are all out of breath and excited and going for it, I can just imagine everyone there with cameras clicking away and you maybe also clicking away but with a view to the best painted image

Glad you like it, Ros.
