You have that rare ability to paint something from a photo in such a way that your painting winds up looking more real than--not just the photo--but than the thing itself!
Sharon, will you please take a long holiday? I can't keep up with your additions to A.W. lol.. all your work is excellent dear Sharon..Geoff.. Happy New Year..
Hi Sharon,
I took this picture in October of '08 at Patricia Lake in my home town of Jasper, Alberta Canada. Right place at the right time. I really hope it does well for you, I feel really flattered. thanks , my camera will never leave my side. xoxo, Randy
Sharon, I think you treated the reflections extremely well. The balance betwen the foreground and the middle ground is smartly solved. The mountains are very clear suggesting a very clena air. One wants to take a lungful of the air and smell the blooms. Great picture!
