The technique is fascinating. The brush strokes seem to pull along, defining each layer of the earth. This, as well as your other, landscapes have a scuptural quality. There is a subtle mixture of abstract and realistic which adds to the interest. Nice work.Iain Robinson 16 Jan 2006
I agree with Cher, these Western Scenes are just tremendous. I love 'em! The atmosphere is all there.Cher Peterson 07 Jan 2006
