I share your love of old buildings Wib - they have such character and textures. This is a lovely painting and those reflections in the pavement are wonderful.

Thanks Adele - I've seen many of the buildings you've painted - absolutely wonderful!

A gorgeous street scene Wib! I love old buildings too and here you have given them a new life with fresh paint. The colours are so lovely and your drawing/painting just excellent.

Quaint Wib, yes the ancient streets are always full of character and this one is full of gorgeous colours, really beautiful.

Thank you Satu and Carole.

Beautiful colours and great atmosphere, Wib. The old woman is very well painted and adds interest to the painting.

If only they could speak, what stories they would tell! Your palette gives the old buildings a warmth and a feeling of belonging Wib. I like the effect of the textures.

Thank you Cesare and Fiona - I appreciate your comments. I wanted to add some human interest so I thought the old woman would work.

Whatever it is the one constant is my love either to photograph or to paint them.
