Yes it does look fine Thalia. All those streets leading down to the harbour are filled with interesting architecture, and this has captured the steep decline so well. Like the flag, a welcome touch of red.

You’ve certainly captured the steepness of the street, Thalia. I agree with Alan, the red flag is a nice touch.

Two lovely miniatures, Thalia. You'd never know they were so small unless you'd said so. I love miniatures and have tried a few 6 x 4s, I think I'll leave the smaller stuff to you. Marvelous.

I can't see anything wrong with the perspective, and really difficult trying to get everything you want into such a small study so well done 😃

And lovely painting again

Nice and loose. I like.

You have a lovely style with watercolours Thalia. The small paintings are loose, attractive and interesting to look at.

Two super paintings Thalia.

Lovely atmospheric work Thalia, the perspective is of secondary importance.

Gosh, thank you everyone, your comments are much appreciated, this one drove me up one of those walls! Alan, thanks for that, the architecture as you rightly say is very complicated, with all the closed/open balconies. the Maltese flag was actually there, too, in the photo. Thank you Seth, Lewis...no way could I compete with your acumplished drawings! Thank you Linda, Too true! Thanks Dennis, Timothy, Satu...that's very kind of you to say so, thanks Margaret, Stephen and Gudrun you're all very kind!

This is a small side street in the capitol, Valletta. Perspective is not my strong point! It's really tiny, 3x5ins again, and I tried to make it look as if it's going steeply downwards, as this street overlooks the War museum and Grand Harbour. Hoping it looks ok! Comments appreciated!
