Nice painting Mike, it was the splash of red that caught my eye first then the place Adalaide. Rain in Oz, I hope it wont be doing that when I visit in the near future I was hoping to leave it here.

Great atmosphere Mike. I love the blue grey colour scheme and the glowing red lights. It was a bit like that here in the UK yesterday!

Wonderful atmosphere and looks very WET! Do they have deluges in Australia - I thought it was all sun and Bondi Beach lol! Anyway, love your painting - it is dark and glowering to reflect the weather but also has a vitality and lightness which makes for a super contrast (if you see what I mean).
