Thank you very much! And thanks for helping with it of course...

I think I'm keeping it this way. It's grungy enough for now. Besides, I already thought of other things I'd like to paint

Late reply...sorry

Alright! You're on the roll! Maybe we can paint together someday? (and make sushi? Now that I can actually taste it? ) haha

And I think it's a good idea to leave this painting as it is! It's awesome! Is it decorating one of your walls already?

Sushi! Nice idea... why didn't I think of that

I still gotta find the courage to hit another nail in the wall... =_=

Thanks for the comment!
You mean the cracks in the building walls? That was done with an old, dried-out brush. I also experimented with using white paint in layers over the spots which weren't detailed or cracked, which happened to add a lot of character. In the end I undid much of that with a brush that had too much red paint on it, but it added an extra layer of grittyness anyway.

I see, the idea is very original and yes the crakcs are part of it, but i meant the actual square canvas looking like it was hung from one of its corners, i assume you did hang it like this on an actual wall and this virtual presentation just emulates that real setting. In any case, that's what i consider to be the most creative part of it since the image does not only depicts a ruined building but the painting as a whole seems to share that decay and be just about to fall down too.

Ah, I have to admit my motives weren't that noble. The painting just was kinda boring upright.
Still, if I declare the rotation to be the finishing touch, then yes -- it's more decay. Which suits it fine indeed. Thanks for pointing that out.

I haven't hung it anywhere yet, but I intent to do it this way. Photograph was made on my balcony because of the better light there ^_^

I see, so it was the final touch of inspiration!
Did you want to make some political declaration or some statement about the condition of old buildings in suburban areas? ha, ha, anyway a red square is a very, very powerful form, you solved a hard challenge with these decisions.

No statement whatsoever. Just a brightly coloured painting to hang on my wall which is only brightly coloured on the outside

Thanks!

No problem.
I guess your room must have a cold colour, which makes some contrast with this red square.
