Beautiful. Love the textures.

The textures really bring the painting to life, Seok! Great figure work!

Beautifully done, Seok. The ambience is wonderful!

What medium Seok? It's very colourful and full of warmth, and how big? I'm very curious, I'm trying to imagine you painting this.

Superb Seok! How long did this take you to paint?

lovely work Seok , super textures and figures . Excellent.

Lovely rich colours, gives it an Eastern feel.

Full of colour and light Seok.

Beautiful Seok. The texture adds so much to this delightful scene. I am especially drawn to the warm light bouncing around the buildings. Love all the details, so much to look at! Wonderful!

The textures add to this quaint scene Seok, really beautifully painted.

Great piece of art Seok. Love the texture, light, colour and composition.

This really appeals to me Seok. It has great character and you have painted it very well and en plein air - wow.

An impressive textural piece Seok.. en plein aire?? if it was, I wish it was me!!!!!

Thanks very much, everyone, for your very kind comments! Marjorie, it's acrylic on canvas (I've now included the information in the writeup) and Fiona, it took about 3 hours before I wilted and gave up. Thankful for my Best Brella, that wonderful umbrella which could be attached to my easel. Painting in the hot sun is so NOT fun!

One of your best, Seok! Composition and palette are first class. I love the old world architecture and street market that you have portrayed so well that I feel as if I actually know the place!

A lovely street scene, Seok, great colours and just love those textures.

Beautiful textured painting Seok. Love the vibrancy.

They said it all much better than I ever could, Seok: a stunning piece of work.

Plei air can bring out the best in a painting and you've done superb work here.

Thanks so very much, Lionel, Jenny, Gudrun, Henry, Mia and Willie!

Marjorie it says Acrylic on canvas, This is a well executed piece and an eyecatcher

Thanks very much, Derek! Not Marjorie's fault, I added the information on the medium and support after she asked. And Marjorie, I forgot to mention that it's roughly 22cm x 31 cm (8 1/2 x 12 inches).

Just lovely, Seok. So immediate it takes you there.

This is so appealing as there is such a lot to explore in the scene. So atmospheric Diana

Thanks very much, Ruth and Diana!

So full of life and wonderful vibrant colours Seok, a marvellous painting. Could you please send some of the hot weather here in Finland. We need it!!!

Thanks very much, Satu! I'll trade you hot for cold any day!

Superb piece of work Seok a joy to look at

Thanks very much, Dermot!
