I feel as if I am standing right there. Lovely indication of depth too.

What a fabulous painting and view Alice! You are fortunate to live in such a lovely part of the country. That green in the foreground is superb.

Absolutely wonderful! I initially thought it was a photographic image as the detail is fantastic!
