I especially like the composition...the ugly building takes a back seat to the magnificent trees and lively parade of umbrellas! Well for an ugly building, this is quite a wonderful sketch.

I am still trying to work out drawing trees without ever little detail. Great building but I really like the way you did the trees.

LOL!!! Yes, indeed it can...I've discovered the truth in that old desire to make my words sweet, 'cause I may have to eat them later.

I'm so glad that your life took this turn. Lovely painting - the light and shadows are so effective. I always find myself studying your methods of depicting trees and would like to be able to have the skills to paint this one. I love your architectural drawings!

I love architecture(in a previous life I would've liked to be one). I like your whole sketch which is very architectural - the building and the umbrallas, as well as the single large tree standing to the side and the only line breaking it, is the round shape of the road in front of the umbrellas. I love this composition! ronell Well, to me this is an awesome building, the way you did it! I love architecture(in a previous life I would’ve liked to be one).
