There is an artist who I think must live in a lovely village by the sea, who paints rows of seaside houses which I adore. She uses something of this kind of style and colours, which are so charming. As Sheffield is an old steel city, we are surrounded by strong blocks of carved stone and this is so light and fresh in comparison. Nice piece.

    Happy to have your review this place is near the island I often retreat to. Sheffield has some exciting bits and pieces. A bit like my home town Newcastle on Tyne.

Wow, you are so talented. I think your work on the people is especially remarkable. The body language is so natural with wonderful detail. The cafe has nice depth and the floor have great texture and shine. I think you did nice work on the signs too.

First off, this is a very nice impressionistic painting. The colors are very pleasing, There's also a lot of little details, such as the cloth hanging from a little shelf with something on it and the way the purse handles hang. All very nice. And isn't it strange the way incidents happen in life? I like your painting very much.

Nice entry for the contest, this is very well rendered, there is so much detail to study here, I like the outdoor seating and the two women are enjoying a cup of coffee, they are well shown with realistic shape and proportions, I like that the one wearing white is wearing sunglasses, nice large planter with a green plant on the right is a nice decorative touch, I like the view of the inside and can see people enjoying a meal or a drink, a couple at the center table and I like the large red hat the lady wears, it's impressive to see how you give depth to this scene, the red floor and I see a serving cart on the right , the colors and tones are also well chosen and applied , this is very well created and arranged, it's a wonderful scene brought to life ! Well presented! Best wishes to you in the contest!
