It will go up in a local restaurant when finished - it still needs tones/colours adjusting, highlights, shadows etc. I'll post the final version later. For those who live in the area, you will realize that most of the buildings in the foreground have been demolished now - it's a view from the market place. If anyone gets up to the Artwaves Festival at Bridlington Spa this weekend (14/15th), pop in the main gallery "Light Fantastic" exhibition and say hello - I shall be there both days with many paintings posted in the last year or so on painters online. Artwaves is sponsored by The Artist magazine and there's lots going on.
