This was one of my favorite projects of 2016. Not the most elaborate or challenging, but I guess the style kind of resonated with me. Not my Design, although I may have influenced some aspects.

Hello Paul,
Great set of images, I love the Architecture especially the roof. How do you find Photoketcher? it always seems a little inconsistent between images to me.John

@Bryan - Thanks - Very nice of you to comment. You always do.
@John - I use fotosketcher in a very controlled way because I too have seen inconsistency from image to image. I have adjusted the settings and saved the parameters so they are always the same and I then match those parameters with images created with a specific sketchup style. Also have found that certain colors and materials in sketchup play nicer with certain settings in fotosketcher so I further individualize saved parameters based on color.
A bit fussy to be sure, but over the years i have a managed to get a small library of parameters that allow me to fairly certain of the outcome.

Well, Paul, you know me - I'm gonna be honest and blunt. I find this batch of renderings to be pulchritudinous.

If English poet John Keats was right when he wrote that "a thing of beauty is a joy forever," then pulchritude should bring bliss for many years to come. That word has already served English handsomely for centuries; it has been used since the 1400s. It's a descendant of the Latin adjective pulcher, which means "beautiful." Pulcher hasn't exactly been a wellspring of English terms, but it did give us both pulchritude and pulchritudinous, an adjective meaning "attractive" or "beautiful." The verb pulchrify (a synonym of beautify), the noun pulchritudeness (same meaning as pulchritude), and the adjective pulchrous (meaning "fair or beautiful") are other pulcher offspring, but those terms have proved that, in at least some linguistic cases, beauty is fleeting.
You have always shown yourself to be sapient, and you have shown that again in your critique of my work.
Thanks Daniel
