Fantastic watercolour Seok, great composition

Another nice watercolour with great composition Seok Yam, really like this painting a lot, thanks also for commenting on my latest painting.

As always, Seok, very special!

A delightful vignette Seok .

LOve this one and thanks for all your comments, they mean a lot!

Another wonderful addition to your travel gallery. These "instants" are so full of character.

I really like your vignetted pieces and your palette - the colours are spot on for the subject matter and it is a great composition like your other paintings in your gallery..

This is a wonderful painting with a lovely soft palette.

This is beautiful Seok, I love the space and lightness in your work.

All your paintings have such a delicacy Seok, they all tell a story and the individual detail in the folds of the clothing and the camel and the warmth protrayed in the columns express your individual style. A pleasure to browse through. Thank you too, for your encouragement with my work - I always look forward to your comments.

Thank you so very much, everyone!

Wonderful sense of the majesty of this pillar - you must be able to see it for miles around. Really superbly painted stonework and all the tourists give the scene scale. Lovely work, Seok.

Pompey's Pillar is a column celebrating Roman triumph in Alexandria, Egypt. It is one of the largest monolithic columns ever erected, and despite its name, commemorates the victory of the Roman Emperor Diocletian (not the celebrated Roman general Pompey) over an Alexandrinian revolt.
