Thank you Ian for the nice compliment! Unfortunately I do doubt myself many times, but I am very happy with the end result.  That I have to thank everybody for their help with this painting that guide me in the right direction.  :)

Thank you Charles.  I start to work on it the 24th of July (you can see my post from "I need some help" under "My Photos".  I only have about two days a week to paint, but it took me a long time, because I scrape off many times a days hard work.  I find my biggest problem was that my values and temperature was wrong.  Scrape off.  Start over the next day ..... and having a lots of coffee breaks staring at the canvas!  :)

Masterful handling of detail.  Wonderful colors and values.  Great representation of light and atmosphere.  Curious how long it took you.

amazing Aurelia, you have achieved a subtle and skilful recession on the distant plane and brought the foreground into focus with a slight colour change. Great work.

Beautiful Aurelia!!  Wonderful light, atmosphere, and depth!   What is the size of this painting?

Really transmits that emotion of 'serene but impressive' - lovely color handling and atmospheric perspective, Aurelia
