This is great!

 

[Schuee]

Thank you very much. Maryknos. I ‘m pleased you like it.

I like the combination of line and colour. Using pastels with ink can creaate nice effects and put some energy in your picture.

 

[Schuee]

Thank you for your comments, Sylwia J-D. Very good of you.

Penny, this is wonderful! If I'm right, this is the view that Thomas Hill painted in the 1880s or so. It's the view that kept pulling me to paint. I had never painted, but I had a photo if it and wanted to paint it. I finally felt competent and eventually did paint my version of his masterpiece a few years ago.
I'm so pleased to see your version of the scene. I wonder if you were there yourself. Yours is a wonderful piece.

Nice one Penny, some interesting colours which work nicely together.

Thank you very much, ntl. I didn’t know of the painting by Thomas Hill and will look it up. I’m really pleased you like it. No, I’ve never been to America. I chose it from a photo - it looked so grand and majestic. It’s. Ery kind of you to comment so nicely.

Thank you very much, Claudia. I am a colour enthusiast!

Thank you very much, Claudia. I am a colour enthusiast!

Me too!! It didn't come naturally to me but I'm learning how to 'turn up' the colour on landscapes.

 

[Schuee]

yes! Anything goes, really. It’s your impression.

Penny, here's a website: https://www.thomas-hill.org/ Thomas Hill was born in England on September 11, 1829
https://www.thomas-hill.org/Bridal-Veil-Falls-Yosemite.html (that should be page 9, top row.)
The next one I want to do is his "Resting by a Stream." ( https://www.thomas-hill.org/Resting-By-A-Stream.html )
I've used inspiration from that one in a couple of other pieces, and have attempted drawings, but nothing that satisfies me.
I have a few other things to do first!

Ah! How interesting. Than you very much for taking the trouble to send the link. I am off to take a look now.

i hope to get a book for Christmas about the Japanese/American, Obata, and his vist to Yosemite.

Again, me love!

 

[Schuee]

Fascinating, ntl. I viewed his paintings and it is the same view that’s in the photo I copied. What a great painter he was. I’m so pleased to have learned about him. Thank you again.

I really like “Resting by a Stream”.

I’d be very interested to see your versions of his work.

 

[Schuee]

Again, me love!

Thank you for looking at both postings, Artyczar. I’ve wanted a landscape for my wall and may get a poster print of it.

Nice composition and use of color.

 

[Schuee]

Thanks, Joy.
