I really like all of them mate.
On the one of the sign though, it's hard to read what it all says.

Very fond of the 6th. The noisy-ness of it makes it seem very cold and moody.
The graffiti on the 7th stands out so much too, it's a great 'modern' contrast to the architecture behind it.

Thanks Ben. Yeah the sign wasnt meant to be readable tbh, I took it as a photo I'm going to paint form a very tight crop, a long story but I have done a series of paintings of close up text so it wasnt reallt intended to be fully visible.

I agree with you on the other 2 points, its a very famous gallery in Paris and I loved the shockingness of the writing, and yeah it certainly was cold and moody in those waves in february!

Cheers Smiley

The wave one I was out in the water with a shitty underwater camera! Seriously cold ina storm in february.

Yeah I was stood in this gallery with all this incredible art around me but there is the mona lisa, with a big piece of glass over it, a huge barrier, loads of security everywhere, about 200 chinese tourists with there latest digital cameras, and all this other art being neglected. I was trying to mock the french idea that cameras should be allowed in galleries, this is what happens. I wanted to stand in front of the mona lisa and take a picture from the paintings point of view, but security had a fit when I suggested it!

Thats exactly what I wanted, I'm pleased! Its a model of Auchwitz by Gerry Judah in the imperial war museum. I had studied him as an artist previously and did some similar stuff, its grim but I like it. And indeed lol and the franglais!

Really like them, especially the wave for some reason.

Just one bit of CC though, with black and white photos, try get the whole tonal range from black to white, for example in the one of the cars there is no white.

Easier to explain on B&W than colour.

Other than that, I like!
