You should see it as a 400×300mm print, Lois .. “the more you look, the more you see” sums it up perfectly!

Right out of a fairy tale book!
I don’t know about you, but our family library includes a number of old volumes that were illustrated in this style. So treasured. They helped to shape my life and loves.

I love the Orton effect .. it was something of an obsession with me for a while!

Hi Karl,
Some cracking architecture in Glasgow and the wee oasis around Kelvingrove is surrounded some fine examples. Cracker of a view and lovely colours.
Karl Williams replied
Watch this space, Kevin .. I’m just starting on the “Glasgow” section of my portfolio. All too often, people think of Glasgow as shipyards, buckie and neds .. they couldn’t be more wrong!

great colours ,is it autumn in the fair city?
Karl Williams replied
As far as I recall, Charlie, this was taken in about November a couple of years ago. The view’s no good in the spring or summer when the leaves are on the trees.
