Afton Villa Orchard

Maybe a little heavy- handed interpretation of the view, but I also did a more delicate one before that, which I can't find now.

I like this, it has a hint of Tuscany.

Nice one. Approach is similar to another you posted. Works well.

I love these deep blues with the pink. Very mysterious!

SNO - Thank you. I'm glad you see a Tuscany look because that was sort of a last minute inspiration from the two tall foreground trees that made me add the distant ones beyond the orchard.

WAYNE - Thanks, you're right, there are several in which I used that approach and to identify them I thought I would name the approach "Heavy Handed" and pretend they are a series. More to come.

ARTY - Thank you. The ruined stone wall was really white, but I wanted a peachy sky and thought white would no go as well as another hue, therefore, the blue.

Very successful, I'd say.

Interesting. As I look at this I see several different things, as one would see different things in the shapes of clouds!

Your technique works well to project the chunkiness of stone. Nice piece!
