Hi Bennington: Good vanishing point location. I like the way you splashed in the cool blue right in the middle of all the warmth. It draws the eye back into the painting whenever all the chaos wants to toss your eye away. Well schooled. Thanks for the interesting work.

Dear Steven, I realy like this artistic work. Very nice mind and a good mixture of colors with sepia tone. It looks like a poem to me and I foun it full of movements. Seems this street is fulling with passions and love. I love it. Thanks.

This one seems about music to me, all those explosions of light beneath the street lights. The longer I look at it, the more I like it. Thanks.

Very clever and pleasing. Reminds me in mood of Van Gogh's 'Evening Cafe', and perhaps a bit more sky might have added to the atmosphere, as it does in that. Especially neat use of color, and convincing rendering of the hard buildings in contrast with the wet streets. Well done -- perhaps more of an illustration than 'Art' per se, but very good original work and miles ahead in concept and execution of most of what we see here.
