I loved the dramatic light in the reference photo for this one. It took many layers of paint, plus stubborn determination to get the atmosphere even close to the ref. Thanks for viewing, Ann
Despite the fact that it "took many layers of paint, plus stubborn determination", you've done an amazing job. The background which gave you trouble reminds me of Dutch masterpieces in museums- and the light reflecting off surfaces is really great!
You do achieve an amazin atmosphere in your paintings and you say it took a lot of work but you give the impression of it being quite a delicate and spontaneous hand at work - very clever
Hello Ann,

Artist Reply: Thanks back to you Muyang, much appreciated. Ann
Wonderfull!:) I especially like those leaves od that tree on the left side, and the dog and, of course, the whole atmosphere. Very real but dreamy in the same time.;)
Artist Reply: Thanks for your kind comments Sara! Ann
This turned out absolutely beautiful... love the front tree since you added more to it. Amazing Ann !
Artist Reply: Thanks so much Theresa. Lots of trial and error on this one eh? I'm glad I am a stubborn person and didn't give up on finishing it. (I received a few boots in the behind to do it, didn't I? lol) Ann
