Of course, I don't know exactly what your vision was, so I'm not the one to say, but I like it and find the colors (as they show here) delightful.<br /><br />The grain elevator is my favorite. It reminds me of something from my childhood in Dorchester (Massachusetts). We had a factory nearby, a chocolate factory, and there were these huge silos on the property for holding cocoa beans. This structure sat alongside railroad tracks that were used to transport the cocoa beans to the factory and the finished chocolate to other cities. I always wanted to paint that, but I'm not a painter at all.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-70533632508365371592014-11-28T08:07:04.863-05:002014-11-28T08:07:04.863-05:00The grain elevator is my favourite.

I wish there was more thought given to potential future uses and more effort made to joint fund such projects between the public and private sectors. Liverpool's worst crime was demolishing the Overhead Railway. I don't know if you know it at all. If so, think what an attraction that would now be.

If the co-operative grain elevator is a reminder of the town’s history, can’t it be remodeled into a small museum or a lovely café? I know the maintenance could be difficult depending on the situation and its location, but anyway, it will last in someone’s photos and in your painting at least. My favorite is the tangled branches. In photography, I like to shoot bare branches with bokeh, blurred colored leaves far behind.<br /><br />Yoko<br />stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-77792951631674282922014-11-27T15:02:36.422-05:002014-11-27T15:02:36.422-05:00Well done, these are really impressive.
