John, such an amazing work of art! Your lightness of brushstrokes has an hypnotic effect on the viewer. It draws a person into details and depths of time softly and gently beckons one into
your delightful artistic expression. Hedy!

Totally agree with all the comments of praise below and I have to say that your light, yet substantial, brushwork reminds me of a modern-day Goya (the Spanish eighteenth-century painter of the court)! Just love the awesome rendering of the architecture and the whole vista...everything seems to be "seeped" through the centuries in different historical/time-bound layers, the feelings/emotions of which you manage to mediate quite excellent i m h o! Great job and hats off!!

Masterpiece John! Truly excellent work. The details are amazing and there are so many to make this painting all that it is. It gives the feeling of strength. The archway gives the feeling that there is more to this place and suggest size of the overall town is so much larger than what is visible. A
