That's extremely kind of you to say Alan and I'm happy that this study has been a really good learning process for me. I would go about it a different way knowing, what I  know now. If I started it again, through, what I have learned, I think, I would produce a painting, that would be much better. It's been really enjoyable painting the ups and downs of it.

I'll post my version when I can take a decent photo of it - it being too tacky to easily move is presenting a problem - but I see I have much to compete with: still - as you say, you've learned a lot; I thought you would, and as I see I've already said, so have I.   It's actually quite a difficult subject, with a lot of technical problems to be taken into consideration. Did you use oil?  It looks as if you used acrylic - hard to tell on a screen.  Anyway - good job!

It is oil Robert  and I thought it was a great challenge. I think everyone who tried did a great job of it and I recommend more try as there is much to be accomplished when doing things like this. I think sunsets are on the cards this weekend.

Good luck with your sunsets Denise, I’ve suggested a good range of colour combinations in my last article - but the temptation is generally to go overboard with colour - moderation in the key word!

I have had one hell of a job photographing this - it's small, it's reflecting glare from the oil in it, and this is taken from my computer camera - and it's STILL not right.   But until we get better light; and it dries out properly; and I get a better camera; and I become a better photographer, it's the best I can do.

Turned out well I must say… like the thick application of paint and the foreground trees stand out superbly!

I really like your interpretation of the photo. You have painted a beautiful painting. Grand job, Robert, I must say.
