I had a look at your website and I really like the 'cityscape 1' the colours are really good. 'Striations' is incredible and my favourite. I like the colours in 'tightrope'. Hope to see more of your work soon. good luck with the exhibition.

Thanks very much, Skye :-)

"Morning Coffee" and "Commuter" are my favorites from your website Peter. The steely blues of "Tightrope" are very pleasing calm neutrals.

For how few colors you used, there is a lot of variation. I really like this.

There's quite a few elements of this piece I really enjoy.
Went to your site:
"City Life" is awesome!
I don't know if it was intentional because the style is different but I see Leger (my favorite) in Commercial Creation's composition.

I like the colors you've used here and the great things to look at.

I am a little trouble by how centered the red strip is though. I just htink it should be either higher or lower on the image. Keep them coming!

Thanks, Rick. I usually mix my grays (& blacks) from ultramarine and burnt sienna - a touch more blue here.

Thanks marybeth. The touch of light orange in the square helps a lot, and the reds (especially the bar) have a loose mixture of warm & cool reds - mainly cool.

Thanks, Don. I agree on the bar - it is slightly above center, but not quite enough. Next time :-)

City Life (http://www.paintingsilove.com/image/show/14037/city-life) is all knife-work. I think the road has more layers than a real road - took a while to get a decent color :) Not too green or purple.

Commercial Creation (http://www.paintingsilove.com/image/show/4/commercial-creation) started as a computer-abstract and then I picked apart various of my cityscape photos to match it, and then painted the result. It does have the Leger tubes - not intentional as such.

I like the works on your site. Candy Corn is a nice, bright, balanced composition.
