Barn in Peak District

I made it 'big' this time! On a full sheet! 70cmx51cm! Am I third time lucky? Compare with yesterday's and let me know! Thanks for looking.

Took up the brushes again, after a gap. Redone the earlier barn scene, changed only the sky, put in some clouds. The rest is the same but donot miss the sheep. Comments welcome.

Barn

I did this today, was actually planning to start framing for the exhibition, but somehow drawn into doing this. Used a sketch done in Peak District last September. Pleased with it, overall. What do you think?

This is a view of the Trafalgar Square as you are apporaching it from the National Gallery. There are usually a few hundred people over there but I simplified the scene with only a few people.
comments welcome.

Swans in Kensington Gardens,London

Buckingham Palace (Renovated!) and Venice Scene

The Buckingham Palace painting I posted earlier has been renovated! Introduced details in the architecture and darkened the left statue and generally the sky. Looks better now!



And here is another one of the eternal Venice scenes! Tried to bring out the sparkles on the water.



Comments welcome!

Buckingham Palace2

Buckingham Palace, from the panorama photo I made. Used just a triad of colours, I liked the experiment. Sky was added last, usually done first. I like the harmony of the colours, secret of using just 3 of them. Not too much detail, just let the colours flow on the paper but defined the major shapes. I like the visual impact. Comments please!


Size 51x33cms, ready to be framed. Thanks for looking.

Buckingham Palace

After spending 4 days on this one, I am really unhappy with the end product, shall try once more, if I am in the mood. The cropped version looks better though.
Here is the cropped version:



Here is he full version:




Thanks for looking.

Trafalgar Square

Trafalgar Sqare, too much to do with the buildings and the statues and the fountains and the people, but I tried to simplify, here is the result. For better effect, I cropped the painting, which is below, comments please. Thanks for l0oking.

Church in Nicosia(Cyprus)

This one is from my Cyprus visit last year. Just forgot the name of the Church which is in Nicosia, the human figures are Suba and Prasad (in real life, but not in the painting).



I am adding the reference photo also for comparison.




Just tell me how is it! Thanks!

View from Whitehall Road, final version

I made this in half imperial, (15" x 22"), may be reasonable satisfied with it, and I am sure I am not going to do it one more time!
Here it is!



I thought I would crop it in different ways to see if it makes a good composition, choose your pick!Thanks for looking.

Whitehall Road - Again

The small painting and the medium size painting-I am partial to the small one which I did first! It always happens, anything you do for the first time has the spontaneity and while trying to do it bigger, it looses the spirit or life along the way! Remakes are always a shade less beautiful from the originals!

The first version- a small painting.




The second version, bigger one!


Judge for yourselves! Thanks!

Whitehall Road

This is a sketch I did today, of a London street, the street (Whitehall) leading to the Parliament from T Square. I am posting the reference photo I used for this.
Here is the photo:




Here is the painting.



Comments welcome.

Parliament from Thames

Did this today, after 3 failed attempts of 'bigben in night'- which will never see light! A consolation piece! I am growing to like this one, had some tough moments doing this. Have a look! First one to come out of the new desk I set up! Took a long time though! Thanks for looking.
