Whissendine Mill 2

Comments

This has worked very well Chris, the mill seems to stand out more, with a very clear lead-in to it. The shadow on the mill gives it a very 3D look.

Fiddling rarely works, Chris - this time you got it! Both composition and colours are excellent

Much better, agree with Stephen. The foreground and the mill are now the focus of the picture, many congrats on a superbly executed picture.

It's great Chris, lovely spring feel and Windmills are lovely subjects anyway

12"x9". I have looked at my previous posting of this subject and contemplated lifting out colour from the offending cloud as suggested by one or two of you good people. However, I decided to leave it as a reminder of what not to do when painting a sky. This is a completely new painting which I think works much better. I took out some bushes and muted the colour of the foreground flowers so as not to distract from the Mill Thank you for all your comments on my previous posting.
