Re: View from the Hedge
Very nice! For some reason the two seem to go together well. Great mixture idea.

Re: View from the Hedge
Dave, Thanks for the tutorial on grass/lawns. Before the grass was laid in, this looked very unfinished.
Dan, Thanks! I am partial to both subjects. The folks here encouraged me to try mixing them!!

Re: View from the Hedge
Excellent. I have a photo of a lighthouse I have fond memories of, but it's a very simple lighthouse like yours. You've inspired me to draw it anyway and put something interesting in the foreground.

Re: View from the Hedge
I'm sure Dave or Val would have edited my initial response to this piece. Suffice to say, I love the composition and your P&I technique is growing by leaps and bounds. As Montgomery Burns would say, "Excellent."

Re: View from the Hedge
I like the conposition of this very much - as well as the contrasting subjects - the combination is very intriguing and is sure to hold the viewer's eye longer.

Re: View from the Hedge
The roses and the lighthouse go well together. You mentioned that you were going to try this combo, and it came out beautifully.

Re: View from the Hedge
Hi Chris,
These lighthouses of yours are coming out quite nicely. I really like a high contrasting lighthouse image which you seem to like doing. Keep up the good work Chris!
