Hi, Jim - interesting comment - to talk about the 'art' rather than the technicalities - I guess it's just a study (it's small) and the scen really attracted me - thanks!

I keep looking at this one, Jon.  Something about it that works really well for me -- maybe the contrasts or maybe the shapes, or both.  But, I really like it.  It is serious and a little bit playful at the same time.

Hi, Manneherrin - glad you're getting the vibe!

Hi, Michael - absolutely - the shadows are too cold - they were fine (warmer) and painted thinly - so I decided to paint them thicker? why!, why!? silly thing to do!

Aurelia - yep no organic forms though! - avoiding diffculty?!

Again, lovely painting.  I like how you linked the shadows.  You have interesting shapes.  I also like how you simplified the painting.

Jon, there is no such thing as wrong color ... only wrong value and wrong temperature.

Michael - yes - very strong!

Hi, Joy - thanks - oups, you're tright ( need to square of the shadows (and they are the wrong color too!) - ta!

Love the feel of the strong light, Jon .... you really nailed that nicely.
