    I loved your first version of this….but I think I like this version even better! You get such good results with the effect of the rough Bockingford Colin, you always seem to know exactly how much to let show through. Lovely work.

    I love this scene, there is a complete view of the market and the residences near by. The feel and atmosphere seems calmer and encompass larger area and landscape. In contrast with the first artwork


    and in

    In your own words “In this abstract, I have attempted to capture the essence of an Arabic street market scene.” I think you did it quite well on both artworks.
    Thanks for sharing with the Art of the Middle East group.

    I’m recognising your style Colin, quite distinctive with a mixture of wet-in-wet and dry brush – it works well. Can I ask whay paper you use?
