Good idea and subject but in my humple opinion it's a bit too much road and hedge than the building.

Thanks for your comments Derek. Although I can see your point, practically from the viewpoint, this is about all I could come up with.

The trees are excellent, Stephen. Love the way you depicted their sparseness, they really add to the atmosphere of approaching winter.

There's a lovely atmosphere to this one Stephen. It does suffer a bit composition wise. If you crop off the right side just after the centre tree, it looks much better.

Many thanks Seok and Frank for your comments, yes I think it does look better with some trimming off the right. I used Sounders hi white Rough for this one, rather than the Not, as usual, it did seem to accept the background wet on wet washes better.

Took a brisk walk earlier and as I had my camera, I took a photo of the local independent grammar school (which I obviously did not go to!). Painted this tonight at the art group.

I am a self taught amateur painter, I mostly paint landscapes in watercolour but I 'dabble' in other mediums from time to time. I really enjoy my art, especially painting outdoors when the weather allows.
