@artsygang I spotted this photo taken by John@congaree and wanted to paint it. Weirdly I can't find the photo at is sight, but am pretty sure it is his....anyhow, here's my interpretation. I did this 3 different times: first with color wash behind, then sketched with ink to color after and then a combination of the two as I went: this is the result of that exercise. Ellen @theredcamera
@ankers70 A lovely reaction, thanks @rickster549 Thanks for supportive comments @ludwigsdiana Oh, Diana, so kind of you, thank you. @koalagardens Enough said, thanks! @30pics4jackiesdiamond I did as you said, got that line at the green lawn and used a ruler to get the lampposts in line and create the vanishing point.
