(24,507 posts)Especially the top one. I think I mentioned the "100 Alley's" project when you posted the first one.

(773 posts)It must be nice to have artistic talent. I'm more on the stick figure end of the spectrum.
My favorite is the snowy one, but the reflection of the moon in the puddle in the summer one is really well done. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.

(26,026 posts)That puddle looks so real that I feel as f I were able to touch the actual pain
Noting, my fingertip would come away wet.

(152 posts)These are lovely and convey so much--I feel like I could walk down that alleyway and feel the cold air, hear the snow crunch, and sense the quietness of the wintry night while looking at that pinkish sky. I love the summer one too cause I can hear the crickets, smell the moisture in the air and imagine my excitement at being out at night with jocular friends or family walking down this alley toward some adventure or hi-jinks. Keep up the good work!

(122,495 posts)I can see now a few little things I have to fix but I appreciate your words of encouragement. I totally invented the puddle - it wasn't in the reference photo - so I'm pleased that addition seems to have been fairly successful.
