Cannot resist the play of light and
shade.
The sky in this photograph is not as subtle as in the
original painting. Scene is set in
Derbyshire England. There is a tinny
farmhouse if you can find it.
you are master of acrylic but not just technique - what a capture of everything good about a painting, light, shadow and composition.. this draws you right into a story, and place where one can stay for a long time..
This is such a beautiful acrylic. The shadows where the sheep are relaxing has a great coolness, and beautiful warmth on the sunny hills. That beautiful tree is wonderful.
A warm scene of rolling fields, resting sheep, a delicate sky, a sturdy lacy limbed tree (is that the farmhouse close by to it?) & the mastery of shadow & light. Very well done-a pleasure to look at.
Gorgeous Landscape painting with great composition and colors !!! I really like the light and shadows they add to the beauty of the painting greatly!!!
Great Fine Art!!!
