Great stuff Mel. Combining with texture is such an art form. You’ve done it so neatly here without it looking you know, too contrived.

Rosemary Scott
I keep coming back & looking at this….. being that I’m not a critic am am not so good with words I can’t really tell you what it is that I love so much about this. But I’m with Paul…. there’s a real surreal quality to this that I just love…..something about the colour & light….
This is a masterpiece to be sure. I’m with everybody else….. more please!!!

I love it to bits and pieces Mel!
Nicole Goggins
love this mel! the colours/tones are great and the slight hint of texture works sooooo well… looks great!
Anne McGinn
wonderful comp – delightful – and the tones and texture….. well, I could stay up all night trying to achieve this ( and often do…) and mine won’t come close. How do you create that matted muted dulled look? (that is a serious question… btw)
Mel Brackstone replied
I lower the contrast and the saturation….
Jo O'Brien
Love this Mel. It has the ambiance of The Son of Man and Nighthawks with that distinct Brackstone creativity.
Heather Rivet...

bensound

morpheus71
An awesome effort – reminds me of Jack Vetriano’s style of painting
David Hibberd
I like this very much. You present such a wonderful variety in your work. Kudos Mel.
Aimelle
I like story teller image (is it how we say this in english?) like this one.
and I have to second Paul and Paul on this. I like the tones, they really set the mood and bring me in another decade
