I never thought a pic of an old barn window would be a fave of mine but this is fantastic in so many ways. Colurs, texture, the feeling of age. Brilliant!

Heather, especially appealing. Reminds of Andrew Wyeth's. Well done!

Artist Reply: Thank you Nikolay. I've loved Wyeth's work since I was a young girl, guess he subtly influences me from time to time!

WHAT AN UNIQUE PIECE OF ART THIS IS... one can read a lot in this beautiful painting.... DID YOU WIN THE CONTEST Heather?

This is an extraordinary painting. It has strong emotional impact and the b&w adds mystery and intrigue drawing the viewer in to the realism of what goes on behind the dark space. You choose a photo and create an atmospheric painting using your special touch to add dimension to the photograph of the farm's window. I a waiting for someone or something to appear in this dark and alluring composition. Your outstanding use of texture and soft color hues add to the intrigue of this magnificent oil painting. I hope you won the contest and I imagine this piece looks amazing framed or on canvas. Outstanding work Heather and I look forward to seeing more of your gallery. Also, I want to thank you for your generous comments on my enchanted leaves.

Artist Reply: Julie, I can't thank you enough for your wonderful comments about my paintings. You write very well and I'm so flattered! I did actually win the contest in 2005, which was a tremendous boost to my confidence as I was just getting back into painting after many years away.
