I had thought about commenting on them but didn't. I was also aware of how you incorporated the roof colors into other areas. Thankyou for pointing out all the considerations you underwent in creating the painting. It helps to see what you have done. It is a lot to attempt! You did a wonderful job of incorporating it all. I had noticed the differing tree heights, widths, colorations, etc. right off. They caught my eye!!

(See the figures near the horizon line under the blue roof?)<BR/><BR/>It was a lot to attempt on such a small format, eh?Michele Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807201831447854822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-658452869447783130.post-50656368939287570112007-12-04T00:44:00.000-08:002007-12-04T00:44:00.000-08:00Hi Michele!

It was interesting to see how you used different trees. I've always loved barns. I really like the composition. Smiles, CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
