Building up London

Comments

Great impression of my home city - not that I would ever wish to live there again.

That's a great one Satu. I couldn't afford to live there.

This lovely painting lights up the gallery Satu it's the perfect antidote to the gloomyJanuary weather! Fantastic!

This is amazing, Satu! I love the 'ice cream' colours and the iconic shapes cleverly woven into the composition. I would say that 2015 is starting well for you!

Absolutely brilliant. You have as usual used your imagination and skill to great effect. How bifurcated is this? Great start to 2015.

Wow - you have woken up to a New Year filled with colour - I love it Satu. As Christine says, it really brightens the gallery pages. I really like the sketchy appeal and the vertical lines in it. Lovely work!

Great image Satu. I don't mind all the new buildings as long as they don't block out St. Paul's Cathedral. After all it survived the blitz

First painting of the year! The subject for a painting within the Wednesday group was a river scene or boats. River brings into mind straight away The Thames which is flowing very near to us towards London where new buildings and construction sites are to be seen every time I go there. So this is my vision of of all that and I added some greens to remind me of the wonderful parks in this great city.
