15 x 24 inches - oil on linen
Even though I increased the contrast, this still looks washed out compared tot he original.

Love your texture in the hills and smoothness in the water, great job on cropping and simplifying a complex scene
. I seem to have same problem with photographing paintings I take up to 20 + photos and it is amazing how different colour and contrast they look but they never seem to have the same intesity as the painting. I have tried how Richard takes his photos but unsucessful. Best way I have come up with Deb told me to do is outside on an overcast day still not 100%
Oops....forgot to mention the vanishing edges of the top mountains into the sky and the brighter color used in the middle ground to bring the eye inward. Stellar!
I love what you did with this. You cropped it perfectly to show off a nice S shape which makes the eye flow through the painting. The soft light values that you used seem to fit with the quiet reserved scene. There is a nice blend of warm and cool colors and the way they sweep and shimmer together at the bottom of the painting is exciting. Your strong brush work, or palette knife ...can't tell...,in the near mountain on the right side juxtaposed to the soft sweeping brushwork at the bottom along with the detail work of the bottom tree gives great dimension and realism to this lovely painting. In my eyes this is a winner!
Beautiful - a one of my favorite
Casey - this is really beautiful - I love your palette knife or brush strokes - and the shimmering light on the water
Love it! The river is spectacular. It is really wonderful, mountains, middle and that amazing river.
Very, very nice. I like it very much . You managed to give a beautiful light. We can still recognize the place but It's your own interpretation. Beautiful
Really soft and subtle colors, I love the blending and flow of the river as it contrasts with the broader strokes of the hills and mountains.
Casey, what a great piece of work. It may look washed out to your but your composition is terrific. We all probably are not completely satisfied with how our work photographs. Jim
