Trafalgar Square

Trafalgar Sqare, too much to do with the buildings and the statues and the fountains and the people, but I tried to simplify, here is the result. For better effect, I cropped the painting, which is below, comments please. Thanks for l0oking.

Church in Nicosia(Cyprus)

This one is from my Cyprus visit last year. Just forgot the name of the Church which is in Nicosia, the human figures are Suba and Prasad (in real life, but not in the painting).



I am adding the reference photo also for comparison.




Just tell me how is it! Thanks!

View from Whitehall Road, final version

I made this in half imperial, (15" x 22"), may be reasonable satisfied with it, and I am sure I am not going to do it one more time!
Here it is!



I thought I would crop it in different ways to see if it makes a good composition, choose your pick!Thanks for looking.

Whitehall Road - Again

The small painting and the medium size painting-I am partial to the small one which I did first! It always happens, anything you do for the first time has the spontaneity and while trying to do it bigger, it looses the spirit or life along the way! Remakes are always a shade less beautiful from the originals!

The first version- a small painting.





The second version, bigger one!


Judge for yourselves! Thanks!

Here is the photo:




Here is the painting.



Comments welcome.

Parliament from Thames



Did this today, after 3 failed attempts of 'bigben in night'- which will never see light! A consolation piece! I am growing to like this one, had some tough moments doing this. Have a look! First one to come out of the new desk I set up! Took a long time though! Thanks for looking.
