Description
This started as an exercise in the use of color to simulate light and evolved from there over the past few weeks. A true master and teacher of this can be found here:

The contrast of loose brush (background foliage) work and tight brush work (such as the boy or the frog) strike a good feel for me.

OK, now I'm totally blown away. Fantastic work here Ken. I'm going to read now, thanks for the link.
What? This is a painting? That's amazing!! I am going to check out the link too!
Nice work,thank you for the link.
super - wonderful work
I look at galleries from many different genre's here, so I don't always know immediately what I'm looking at. At first I thought this was a photograph, but the frog was too big, so I thought perhaps it was a Poser image composited into a photograph, but then something about the lighting on the boy looked a little too blue, so I thought perhaps he was composited in as well. It wasn't until I scrolled down that I realized it was a painting. Top notch work. Very, very realistic. (I'm the guy at the movies pointing out the CGI artifacts... "Ooh, look! They didn't anti-alias the perspective correction in their texture!!")
Absolutely outstanding work Ken!
excellent painter work. I am over my head into painter and love the results one can achieve as you have done here.
The very first thing I noticed once this opened up was the "lighting" on the rock midground-left and in the boy's hair so I guess this exercise worked, Ken '-)! And I really love all the little details like the splash and the stray bits of grass/plantlife that really bring this to life!!
Fantastic. I love it!
oh this is so good. the light is outstanding.
