GROVE

This is a 30x40" canvas that was already painted on and I wasn't happy with the painting, so I painted over it very quickly. I think this image was taken in Boone NC. Not sure if I'm finished or not so any suggestions for improvements are welcome. oil/canvas. Brian

thanks for your ideas Jeffery, put a few tree shadows in. Did some work on the sky and keyed up the trees a bit. Thanks for commenting and thanks Dave for your generous remarks. Brian

  2. Wow Brian this is really fantastic. Just love the colour and light. It must really be amazing in real life!!!
    My only suggestion(going from the photo here) is to get any of the cast shadows in that work.

    It's a beauty!

  3. Jeffery, good suggestion,I also see that I should introduce some grey blue dark into the dark areas a bit.
    Thanks, Brian

    Dave, you've got to be kidding, I didn't think it was that terrific and thought it needed some work! Thanks. Brian

  6. Hi Brian
    I love this. The photo was taken on our Edmiston Rd here in Boone.
    I hope I won't get in trouble for saying I liked it better before you made the changes. I think the deeper colors give it more character.
