Dear Rita,...Thank you, Sadami! Yah, you are funny!<br /><br />Dear Rita, there is much beautiful old architecture in Europe, but also people make the most of it, by placing nice cafes and restaurant patios at these locations. So they can sit and enjoy the atmosphere. Here, in Ontario, if you want to have a beer outside, you will be sitting in a fenced area on the side-walk of a busy and noisy boulevard.<br /><br />Gracias Beatriz!<br /><br />Gracias Sonia!<br /><br />Grazie, Floriana per il tuo commento e sono molto contento che ti piacciono i miei ultimi dipinti.<br />Just keep an eye on Alvaro's calendar, he may come over to your area soon: http://www.alvarocastagnet.net/events/upcoming/<br /><br /><br /><br />Blagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596986317236711714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634896118460400027.post-8047590185456713652013-11-13T15:37:23.432-05:002013-11-13T15:37:23.432-05:00Thank you, Tito!

Then I looked at it and thought "Wow, not bad at all!" <br /><br />Thank you, Judy! I love places in the city with character and nice ambiance and I've always wanted to be able to depict that atmosphere. I now feel way more confident in that.<br /><br />Gracias Mercedes! Me alegro de que te gusten!<br /><br />I'm so glad you see such a difference, Jane! Alvaro's workshop gave me some "tools" and techniques and also thought me what's important to look for and emphasise. I'm actually putting much less detail in the paintings now, but the big value contrast and the combination of wet and dry brush where appropriate, makes it look like there is much more in the painting. Thank you!<br /><br />Thank you, Catharina! I've been going through my old photos and picking scenes with nice atmosphere and good light in them,that are appropriate for this style. <br /><br />Blagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596986317236711714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634896118460400027.post-20437664046728738892013-11-13T14:24:02.462-05:002013-11-13T14:24:02.462-05:00Ciao Blaga,
