Wow! Very tricky reflection thing going on! You handled it very well! :cool:
I have a big blue gazing ball in my garden...uuuumm...perhaps you have inspired me to try a painting!

Wow! I did the same one this weekend, but I totally love your background better! And that ball is simply glowing, there is no other word for it! Awesome job!

I'm amazed at what great paintings people are getting from this image and yours is no exception. You have done an exceptional job on the reflections and the highlights. Good for you!

Annette, Cori, Preston & Mikki, Thank you so much for the kind words you've said about this. I liked doing it but getting the right blue in the right place was a bit of a nightmare...and my husband wouldn't let the dog near me in case she went green! ( Pale yellow lab + blue? :evil: :wink2: )
