I think a lot of fine work has been put into this. It has much interesting detail and is very well composed. Your paint tells a great story and your note story adds a lot to the overall. Well done. Absolutely love the colours.

thank you. I find oil more difficult than acrylics in some ways but easier in others, the colours merge better!

Very well executed painting, I like the accompanying poem as well. The structures are very well created with good attention to the details, nice show of the yellow sky and the smoke in the air over the buildings. Well arranged and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!
