Sculpted with paint, very tactile.

Looks a beast of a building John. Well done on getting into LAOTY, what a difficult subject!

First of all John well done for your appearance on Landscape painter. Certainly looked a very daunting task to undertake. This painting of this formidable building is superb.

Yes lovely interesting buildings, stands well against the blue sky John.

I've just done a ten hour drive from Aberdeen to Southern England and only spotted all of these lovely and encouraging messages. Thanks to you all for your kind comments about this little painting, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Also, thanks for the fabulous comments about LAOTY, I'm so flattered and delighted you watched it :)

Wonderful painting of The Balmoral Hotel with its clock tower. Your green works so well.
