Portfolio for Monday

I am afraid my portfolio is looking very thin at the moment. I have been trying to add as much as I can but as ever, I am not happy with my art. HOWEVER, today I finished a test painting in my sketch diary.  This is the doorway of Conways Bar in Ramelton Co.Donegal. I know the the lettering does not look very good, but it is true to the original. The perspective is a wee bit suss to say the least, but I will be able to correct this, if I go ahead with a full painting.
The best lesson I learned while painting this is, ALWAYS USE ARTIST QUALITY PAINTS as you get what you pay for. I ended up throwing away all the cheap acrylic paint I had as it is nothing but rubbish.
