Hi, Rae,
Good job. When I looked at the painting, I feel as if I was walking on the road. Color is in great harmony. It's perfectly done. One opinion, it is a little bit too even. If you choose one focal point and soft others, I think will be better.

Hi Rae,
Very Cool!
Great detail and that road looks very slippery!
What size is this? |
|
All the best,
Jim

| I feel like I'm there. I'm with Jim - that road looks slick! I love paintings with buildings, so this is especially appealing to me. Your use of color is strategically placed and it shows. I would soften the end of the street a little more to enhance the wonderful depth you have and bring the focal point closer. Well done! |

I was just contacted for permission to have this painting published in an educational book , which will be used all around the world. Can't wait to see it in print.
