You are also spot on about the back figure.

Your artist colleague didn't damp down the back figure as much and the shadows are lost except for the poles. I like the light in yours and the rendition of the building, the shadows, graffiti and the fact that the second back figure is the ? in the painting. Maybe the second figure could be just coming into the light. Both figures are grounded with the dark and they are the draw you into looking around.Marleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08795243544681018109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-55582969645360647672013-01-14T19:22:08.783-08:002013-01-14T19:22:08.783-08:00Thanks for weighing in, Kevin.Thanks for weighing in, Kevin.David Lobenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550343255310931339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-68232382715014824682013-01-13T01:49:56.462-08:002013-01-13T01:49:56.462-08:00A slight edge to the bottom painting as far as sty...A slight edge to the bottom painting as far as style goes.

Not that I always successfully employ them myself! The Maestro tried to teach me the importance of getting things right, especially when painting structures. He'd tell me, when something is "off" viewers will sense, or outright see the mistake.<br />Great post, David.<br />Sincerely,<br />Gary.Gary L.
