Lovely one

It looks pretty good to me as is - but maybe you could add some shadows to one side of the gate posts and a bit of lighter grey blue on the distant trees to create recession - just a thought.

Great grass!

Susan! Like how you handled the various grassy textures. The sunlit strip in The BG is gorgeous.

[Scattykat]

well done, a really inviting pic...

Well done grass and sun. Trees need more variety of color and form perhaps.
Good job on the stone work.

Excellent advise. I think I will give it a go. Also advise from Paulafv on more variety of form on the trees. I think it is worth working on some more.

Thanks everyone!

the stonework is wonderful

Nice job Susan
I think it needs more shadows on the pillads of the fence trees are casting their shdow the fence should too the last big tree should be a litle paler and bluer be carefu one of its branch goes over the double treewich is closer to us I thinkk a little more pale blue or violet in the bg trees will help the aerial perspective you already have some good advices

I saved this ref photo and cropped it. This is exactly how I would have painted it too (if I had the ability).

Great job!
