Hazy Summer Day by Marjorie Firth

Colour still not right, looks washed out - maybe because I photo’d it when the light was low.

I admire your tenacity Marjorie, having to paint all those windows. Great perspective and the haziness is very effective.

You’ve handled the detail very well here, not overworked… or tight! Lovely atmosphere throughout… nice work Marjorie.

Personally I like the hazy look. Great detail.

Extremely good Marjorie ... all those windows, hats off to you! So much to like about this - super perspectives, brushwork, colour palette and that green traffic light the cherry on the cake.

Not overly worked, Marjorie. Be happy with it.

Beautifully hazy!

I think it's spot on.

It's hazy and realistic, and gotta say a heck of a lot of detail. Fantastic!

Such a lovely and atmospheric piece, Marjorie! 🥰 The haziness gives it a beautiful, dream-like feel, and you handled the architectural details so well. Watching how you capture the mood and handle the brushwork is incredibly inspiring for my own journey. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🎨

A grand painting Marjorie and much to like about it.

It's a fabulous painting Marjorie, those 'sunny' highlights on the side of the building on the left and in the reflections in windows are a magical touch.

Excellent artwork Marjorie.

I admire anyone who tackles windowed buildings I like the faded quality you have achieved Marjorie.

Thanks everyone. Lesley, it’s quite daunting when you start, you have to proceed as logically as you can ( and I’m more emotional than logical). Nothing will be exact but as long as it’s doing what I want it to do - concentrate on the sun and light, then ok. Still learning….

That's a great painting Marjorie. I like the strong contrast with the car which helps to guide the viewer.

Quite like it. Looks like an early morning to me, no traffic. It works so well done

Martin, still learning….
