Comment by Ningning Li on January 29, 2014 at 14:13: Those trees make this painting very interesting. I love the peaceful lonely mood you created for this beautiful painting.

Comment by Jessica Futerman on December 8, 2013 at 8:31: Thank you very much for your lovely comments, Xiao & your interesting suggestion about the shadows. I think it probably needs a bit more work!

Comment by Xiao Li on December 7, 2013 at 9:34: Beautiful painting Jessica! Like your atmosphere effect. You really push the mountain far far away. A little suggestion. The shadow side of the left corner of the trail could be made a little darker to add some weight to the painting. Just my two cents. It is beautiful as is.

Comment by Jessica Futerman on December 4, 2013 at 9:52: Thank you Vladimir for your kind comment - actually, I have no idea of the actual distance to the first mountain, but I think it's very far away!

Comment by Jessica Futerman on December 4, 2013 at 9:51: Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Laura - about the shadows, it's a good point - I did check my reference photo again & actually there were no cast shadows, despite the angle of the sun! Not sure why, really, but I think it might be a good idea to add a few anyway!

Comment by Vladimir Gmyria on December 4, 2013 at 6:17: Hi Jessica,that is wonderful painting,but can i ask you how far first mountain?I like it.

Comment by Laura Xu on December 4, 2013 at 5:42: Hello Jessica, this is a beautiful painting and I like it! Just one question, you may check your reference photo to see if there is shadow for trees.

Comment by Jessica Futerman on December 4, 2013 at 4:29: Thank you very much, Silvana! One of my sons did hike this trail with a friend last year. I'm pretty sure the pines in the mid ground were burned in a big forest fire, but they are still beautiful! Those two little pines are bravely starting to grow again!

Comment by Silvana M Albano on December 4, 2013 at 2:14: Jessica! It is a hiker's dream! I love it! and those two small pine make it ery special!!!!
