Balcony in Palm Street by Thalia Stones

possibly a little reflected light within the mass f the shadow - just to break up that block ?

I really like the drama in this painting

This immediately caught my eye Thalia. Love the striking contrasts.

Nice work in transforming a mundane scene into a coulourful place Thalia. Well done.

You are very lucky to be able to paint these lovely buildings, Thalia, love the balconies and the rugged walls, great colours .

Very interesting scene Thalia. I always find myself thinking “what’s around that corner?” Which is good as you’ve hooked me in! I would perhaps be inclined to lighten up the left hand side wall just a little, but it really doesn’t need much.

Striking painting with gorgeous colours, Thalia. Re the left hand solid wall, I personally am not sure if you need it - I blocked it off with a bit of paper and I thought it looked even better without it. Hope you don't mind me suggesting that.

The dark wall adds to the mystery of the scene, and gives a stark contrast to the brightness on the right. I think it works well. Lovely work.

Very striking Thalia. Love your building scenes.

Thank you Mike...good idea! i will! Thanks Lynne, Carole, Jim, Annick, Tessa, Margaret, CA Jones and Sandra, those are really helpful comments!
