A friend critiqued the painting and let me know that there was a line that followed the crack in the upper white dome straight up through the bricks and off the page! Until she said that I hadn't noticed; then it was all I could see (of course).
I think I was able to fix it, at least make it less noticeable.
Then I added more color to the window shutters and darkened shadows a bit more; added some more color to the top right bricks.
Then it dawned on me how dark this painting is getting. Yikes. Will have to decide if I want it to be lighter, as it actually was with the whitewashed brick, or if this darker is OK with me.
Stay tuned.

I didn't notice it either until you pointed it out lol
I think you did a good job with fixing it tho :)I think the darker brick actually make the shutters stand out more and bring out the blue colour :)
Darker looks good to me - it still has that washed out, old look (just like we all have at our ages! ha ha)
Deb I don't think it is too dark. Love the colors and texture you are showing in this piece. The perspective and dimension is depicted so well too. Hope your weekend is wonderful
