I like the gutsy attack and the color scheme is great.

It was pretty fast painted because it was quite hot out midday and I didn't find shadow for myself. Thanks!

What an interesting subject! I like the bold brushstrokes and understand that your brush must have been flying because of the heat and you needing to finish!

 

[Grapes]

Thanks! Summers are so much more hot than what they used to be.

Well captured!

 

[Bongo]

style fits the subject, good taste, good eye, good painting

 

[Grapes]

PaintBoss, thank you!
Bongo, thanks! The entrance to this structure is on the other side and much lower level than the cupola. There's quite a high drop where the building ends in the picture but good fences so that people won't fall. So, the whole thing is inside the rock, cupola on top of the rock.
They organize concerts/music/singing here. I suppose acuistics is good or smth.

Such an interesting building, and I really like your interpretation, and I love your use of green!

PaintBoss, inside the church it's pretty.
Joy, thank you!
Jo, thank you so much!
Triduana, thanks! It's kind of an odd building located in the city center and built in a rock. Good thing is that it's pretty simple and one can use it easily to do a quick sketch even when it's hot.

Wow! Great take on this with the color. Where is this located? Beautifully done!

 

[Grapes]

Arty, it's located in the heart of the city of Helsinki, Finland. Lots of tourists always around. Thanks!
