I do believe this one is ok, your skies show a lot of an effect of an approaching storm, the trees are very detailed, love the way you have the light upon the field an dthen once again towards the edge of the picture, the birds in the sky are a nice touch, the fenceline is done well, this is a very pretty picture.

This is interesting the way you have painted this one. I like the coloring in the sky. I like all the detail and the green in the trees. I like the way you have the light on the grass on top of the hill. You lose a lot of the fence in the darkness. I also think the bottom of the picture is a little too dark. Lightening up behind the second tree would bring out the beautiful coloring in the tree too.

I recall the photograph and this is a wonderful rendition. Nice lines, great balance of both colors and elements. There is some very fine detail in this work. A well composed presentation.

Absolutely more than OK. All the paintings I have seen from Sandy's original photo have been outstanding in their originality and interpretation. You have captured the essence and impending storm beautifully. Thanks for sharing.

I too, plan on entering Sandy's challenge but haven't had a moment yet. Looking at the photo, I see all of the elements of her original photo, but this one is a lot darker than the original. The sky and small clouds have created a lot more malevolence than the original. thanks for sharing my friend. Cyn

Your right your sky is incredible. I like the darkness of this piece and the layout is very appealing . Shadows and lighting a great job and your trees look fine :) very nice piece of art work.

I can not get over your talent that you have in photography and in art. It sure looks threatening. Very good work with the tones of the storm. I also like how did not keep the landscape straight.
