Wow, holy crap, whatever, I can't believe that this was a painting, I thought it was a photo, and I was unsure of the species, well done, and you better frame it! Have you ever or intend on ever selling your pieces at like Beaver lake or a place like that??
Maggie, now you're just showing off! - and if I could paint half that well then I would too - I can't believe that it is a painiting, not a photoshop'd image
wowee - I was just looking at this thinking - I wonder what editing mode you used on this - DOH! fabulous shot of your painting - it looks like a photograph... (LOL - I've heard the reverse said of so many of my shots, couldn't resist!!)
I love the way you painted the wood and the background is so nice. Like a midsummer green. Very pretty.
