I did this painting with my fragmented time for several days. I took the photo in a place called Zhouzhuang near Shanghai, China. I had some struggle dealing with cool grey colors when I painted this one. You know I like to use warm colors in my still life paintings, but I must learn how to control my cools without making the color muddy. I have not achieved that kind of control yet. I will keep practicing.

Thank you, Sir, for sharing your art with us. You bring such beauty into my day. Thank you.
Wonderful job of conveying urban scene. Use of gray is really good. Would like to see the painting itself. I developed a love for gray especially when doing pastels years ago. Endless shades of gray. Now I am excited to be able to mix my own in oil, but feel overwhelmed by the all the ways to get there. Stumped actually!...;-)
Yep, greys are tough when your not used to mixing them up. Looking good though.
