This is a commission painting for a client in Alberta. The finished piece is 36x40" done with Golden"open" acrylics /canvas. Probably the most representational piece I've done in a long time, but had fun irregardless. Comments welcome. Brian
HEY COACH SIMMONS I like it! Though its more representational than others, it still has Brian written all over it... fun, brushy. I like the way you punched-up the water and the details of the bottom of the pond. The detail in the flowers really enhances the foreground, middleground, background concept of depth. Good Job Steven
Hi Brian, I think it's very pretty, and I'm sure the client will be happy. I particularly like the aqua tone toward the back of the lake, it gives it that real mountain glacier feel.
Yours is very beautiful and makes the originaal look quite pitiful. I am sure its owner will be more than thrilled. I keep thinking about you and wondering how the new book is coming and what it will be like. I look forward to hearing about it. Take care Page
