Superb painting John.

You’re very kind Stephen 🙏🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏🏼

Covid hasn’t removed your patience, perseverance and skill John! Super painting, great detail. Hope you’re soon feeling better.

That’s a lovely thing to say Tessa! I’m extremely grateful 🙏🏼

Such a complex challenge so well achieved John. So much to look at and enjoy. Love how you have painted the figures and traffic.

Thanks Carole, I’m delighted with your reaction 😊😊😊

I could look at this for a very long time John (and I did)! I love what that bus does for the painting; the contrast in colour in that one area; beautiful!

Always like you style John, super view of Edinburgh.

This is great John, well done, is it done using guache?

Thanks Karen!!! I think the buses, cars and people have to be included because they add life and colour to the city scene, they’re also the most fun areas to paint 🙏🏼😊

Thank you very much Andrew and Jennifer (it’s an oil painting btw 😎)

Very good indeed and I like how you've painted the figures too

Thanks Heather, the figures help show Edinburghs hustle and bustle 🤓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😊

Many people hanks Coral! I hope you’re well 🙏🏼😊

Sorry Coral, that should be ‘many thanks’ 😜

Just lovely, a symphony of greys! :D

Love your use of darks John, your palette is one I envy. Wonderful figures and the bus looks terrific. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Hazel! You’re very kind indeed 🙏🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Fiona thank you so much! I’m fully recovered now and delighted with your reaction to the painting 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤗🙏🏼

You’ve captured the complexity of buildings in Edinburgh very well.

Thanks Spencer, this one was very time consuming but most enjoyable and rewarding 😀😜😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This is really good. The pop of blue in the bus adds something.

Hey Bobbie! I love your comment and agree with you about the bus. Controversially, the buyer has rejected the commission because of the buses but I couldn’t bring myself to edit them out 😳😎😳

Great perspective and drawing of buildings.

Thank you so much Leslie, it’s very kind of you to comment so positively 😊

That’s very kind of you Kathleen 🙏🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏🏼

Covid has bitten me on the bum once again so my paint brushes took a well deserved rest. This is a commission for a similar painting to one done about a year ago
