Smithhills Hall Bolton by James A Deal

Good; a really believable tree and delicate twigs, with a solid and convincing building as backdrop. I like your ambition with subjects, and although I don't know the chronological order in which you actually painted them, I have a sense of development as an artist, probably achieved through your willingness to tackle very difficult subjects (as this one is).

I painted the original version in january 2006, and have now given it another look having acquired a little knowledge from books and other artists like yourself. I am looking at all my earlier work to see if it can be improved. I appreciate very much your comments.
