olive grove provence

You may have had difficulty with the background but you have succeded - it looks great to me Sunil. You have asked for comments and the only one I would make is about the middle ground and it's a very picky point. It could be seen to be cutting the picture in half - to maintain the integrity of the middle ground it may have been improved by lowering the foreground bushes on the left to reflect the lines and general structure of the composition whilst raising them just a little on the right to overlap (just a little) the line of shrubs coming down from the buildings - this would help to tie it all together - but as I say it is a minor point and others may disagree - I couldn't believe it was watercolour when I first saw it - a great use of the medium.

Thank you Michael. its very heartening to get appreciation from one's peers. the visual is as per the original . The difficulty was with multiplicity of colours in the background and still feel that the blues for that area are a bit too dark! .

Hi Sunil - thank you so much for your kind comments on my work. I can see I'm not quite up to your standard, so I'm grateful for the encourangement. This has lovely bold colours. I do like a painting with rich colours.

Hi Tony, i am a novice vis a vis so many others. i commenced only in 2005 and am still learning colour mixing and perspective! - you may wish to see my profile on this site. I enjoyed your work hence my comments. Best wishes
