Great perspective. What time of the day did you paint this no cars/no people
How long have you been painting for?

I started painting 6AM on Sat Sun mornings. It took a few weeks. Very few cars at this time of day there so I only had to not paint several. I’ve been painting since I was a little boy, in the 50’s. Runs in the family.

Wow! that's an awesome oil painting, Congratulations
I try from time to time to paint but this is beautiful with so much detail for oils
You have some nice clean colours and I don't think I would have noticed the power poles if they hadn't been mentioned but they do look a little odd I think you could have swopped them for street lights it would have given it a quaint look but hey you got first place so what do I know.

I have an extra reason to like it, since it reminds me of the look I gave the buildings in my Urban Landscape entry, except I can't paint hardly at all so I do it with camera and Photoshop.

I also found having the utility poles without wires a little odd at first, but after a few seconds it seemed to suit the mood of the piece fine. Congratulations!

Where's the Plymonth? I don't see any cars at all in it.

Seriously, if I were browsing an art show this is definitely one that would catch my eye and I'd spend some time looking at it. May I ask the dimensions of your painting?

This is a good example of an almost great shot. I love the focus and the colors here!!! There is some very good composition. But it's too busy! If you cropped it in much closer around the steps, leaving out all of that walled in whatever you would have a much simpler and more appealing image!
