Uncharted Waters...er, Bricks

Do these look like old bricks? Please say yes. Move farther back and then squint your eyes and look again. Now how do they look? This is an ongoing project that I have been puttering on once in awhile when I am in the mood. My lukewarm motivation is due partly to the fact that I only want to work on it when Mom is occupied in her room so that she does not feel deserted. However, this means I only have short spans of opportunity, which is sometimes inspirationally defeating. Also, this type of subject is new to my landscape experience, so I am in unfamiliar territory when it comes to color mixing and texturizing. I tend to paint more dilegently when it turns out right. Right now, I am feeling much better about my old brick facade capabilities than my cobbled roads (notice I am not revealing those yet).
