Susie, this is the painting after my first JV critique, except for some minimal tweaks, so I don't think anyone will see the changes. I will Send you my before and after JVs critique. If you go to the Wet Canvas Live forum thread where you posted your paintings for critiques; he went in with photoshop and showed me exactly what I needed to do to the painting--awesome. Stu

Thanks Susie. Johannes criqued it for me and I have actually really improved the sky and popped some color in the tree trunks, but I haven't posted it after my changes yet. Stu

Hi Stu,  Believe me, I will not purchase any more videos until I am sure they have fixed the problem.  I did receive a reply from Johannes.  He said that he forwarded my email to the people in charge of that problem...probably the same people I emailed.  Well, at least he was kind enough to write back. By the way, I am still loving just looking at this beautiful painting.  I love the wet reflections and the warming lights in the shops.

Barb, you can use your own GC photos.  I  really liked one of Jo's and used that since I haven't been there for 25 years.  Everything is fixed at North Light; check your account and you will see that all your files are back.  Stu

Thanks Barb.  This seems to be a popular painting.  I have another similar photo reference from several days before this one.  I will probably paint that pretty soon.  I finished my underpainting for the grand canyon and will shoot it and post it tomorrow.  I used one of JVs reference images for it; his photos are great.  I met Ann Turner in person today.  She and her husband came up from San Jose to my new studio during Marin Open Studios today; she is the first artist on this site that  I have met in person.  Stu
