Lovely Stephen bet you forgot to put your jumper back on

Nice bright colours, I can feel the warmth from here Stephen.

you've captured the warmth of this lovely town - wish I was back there now.

Many thanks everyone. Yes it is a lovely old town Michael, has the edge on Oldham in winter!

Lovely painting Stephen it really captures the feel of the place it looks hot and not busy lazy lifestyle , very nice.

Super use of light and shadows, Stephen.

The light really conveys the season. Real warmth in the shadows and colours used. Nice one Stephen.

Good light in this one Stephen.

Many thanks everyone for your kind comments much appreciated. I had to search on the Internet to the check on the spelling of the town. There was a ohoto on, from a very similar spot, when I clicked on it, I could move along the street by clicking the arrows, quite fascinating!

Very expressive the summer scene. Great use of simplicity and colour.

Smashing place and capture, but I would have liked to see some blues/purples in there.

Many thanks Georgiana and Derek for your helpful comments. The Sienna colours of the stonework in the sun was very red based.

After battling through the winter gales to the art group, I thought I would paint this summer scene from a an old holiday snap.
