A giant POV here and a excellent Light

O I am sorry to hear about your f.i.l. Whish streight to him and to you as well. This is a wonderful work. I realy like the single light tone road around a bit of the darker landscape. The sun hiting the top of the trees is super.

great dedication.. super art i hope all will be ok.. as time moves by.. we all fall victim to ill health enjoy good health as long as you can !!!! I am often in bed thinking.. I have no pain.. no pain at all.. by thinking of it.. you enjoy it even more and you will remember it when pain does come.. as it will with images like this.. one forgets all sadness for a moment -=- about my image.. she is being told by her soldier.. but she does not fear

Very nice composition & POV - hopes the best for your father in law. Well done here.

amazing job

you know, Craig, when I view images when I'm not commenting, I always look at the images, but sometimes rush through the texts (unless it's writing); and therefore can completely bypass words on an ill loved-one or one who has passed, etc. I'm so sorry I missed this message, and, though relieved, sorry I missed the follow up on the next image. I'm sorry your father-in-law had that operation, and that he's confined for a while; and I hope he will be back to normal soon. As for the image, you've always been excellent at getting light & definition in darker landscapes (knowing that you do lighter landscapes too). You don't shy away from shadow, as you articulate what's in it with real detail & expression. This is a mountain & valley scene in the shadow of a great cloud-cover; or perhaps in late day or early day, when the light can be intense in spots and dark in others. But inside the many shaded areas, you've articulated realistic roads, land patches, trees, leaves and even peaks. The Oriental painting masters would've approved of your handling of fog in peaks & the mystery of trees & land in shadow. It isn't a dark landscape, it's a full landscape that happens to be viewed in shadow; and it has a lot of love in it, as well as a dramatic detailed sky (which we seem to be viewing from an aerial location). A gentle vision for your father-in-law, and maybe the shade is just right, as one who's recovering doesn't want too much notice or bright light, metaphorically. Beautifully conceived...and again I wish the very best to your father-in-law, and hope he'll be healed very soon...

Wonderful landscape: I was bound to love this one!
