Light and shadows 17

The sin of an artist painting an ugly object is if he or she doesn't make it interesting, In your case, you use the lines to good effect linking various parts of the painting and creating cohesion and tension, so bring on the uglies, Midori!

Interesting composition Midori. I like the contrast between old and new, the old traditional architecture next to the modern technology. Almost two worlds in one painting.

You've really done it proud - makes a superb picture

Yes, the juxtaposition of old and new is very telling. I love it.

An interesting watercolour Midori. Artists see beauty in all things.

Midori, this is an example of line, shape and texture combining to make a pleasing composition. I like looking at it, simple as that.

I agree with all the above comments, Midori. This is really beautiful, I like it very much. I can not say why, but to me it is something very attractive.

Hi Seok, Cohesion and tension? U-n, really nice expression. I didn't think about such thing when I was painting, but exactly it is. Thank you.

Hi Stephen, Actually, I'm going to try this subject soon again. I like this very much. I've realized that I shouldn't post my work, as soos as I finish painting. I should hide the work somewhere, and at least 5 days after, check it. I can see what is wrong and missing then.

Hi Michael, Thank you for comment. You always encourage everyone to keep moving forward.

Hi Kim, I'm learning English as well, juxtaposion! I used a dictionalry. Thanks nice word.

Hi Carole, One day, accidentally when I opened a blog, the artist just paints scraps. At that time, I didn't know why he paints such thing? However, I've started to understanding why.

Hi Ruth, Is It so? I'm very happy to read your comment. It is very difficult to paint mosques. However, when I painted half of that, I thought that might be one of way of doing.

Hi Mia, Such a compliment! Thank you. I'm going to try this location again soon.
