Caught the autumn atmosphere perfectly, Ian. The weak sunshine is beautifully captured.

I love the stone against the Naples yellow Ian, a great choice. Bags of atmosphere.

I would be pleased with this too Ian! I love that little scattering of light on the walls and lingering in the sky. Very good.

I have to admit I am rather pleased with the overall effect with the crimson seeping through in places to bring a touch of unexpected warmth to the painting.
