The idea of <A HREF="http://www.photo-print-on-canvas.com" REL="nofollow">Photo on canvas</A> seemed appealing to me and that was one of the main reason I stepped into this field. Though the one I am talking about also involves professional skills I guess the painting from photos demands even more out of the person and I see magic being created here.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176768350929736932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-22550455672666225722008-07-29T21:41:00.000-06:002008-07-29T21:41:00.000-06:00You captured a sense of how high the trees reach u...You captured a sense of how high the trees reach up in to the sky.

You have created a very nice rythm that almost reads like a musical score. One could study it and find many new pleasures from it.<BR/><BR/>Stacy, I am interested in what you are doing In the mentoring program. Please tell us more when you catch a breath. Good luck. I am excited to see your progress.Michael Lynn Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07112581053449176755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-61697796121947414882008-07-29T08:45:00.000-06:002008-07-29T08:45:00.000-06:00Lovely painting Stacey.

The composition definitely works- I often put an element just slightly off center- it tends to create a little visual tension and also keeps the eye in the painting if you have something like a strong diagonal that might pull it out- its a sign of confidence here I think!Deborah Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242296435365350267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-20243150572229906622008-07-27T22:57:00.000-06:002008-07-27T22:57:00.000-06:00Wow, you have created a piece of art out of taht n...Wow, you have created a piece of art out of taht not so good snap.

It's a beautiful painting and the composition works wonderfully!Joe Kazimierczykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936183292787898260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082684.post-4771885943298439852008-07-26T02:26:00.000-06:002008-07-26T02:26:00.000-06:00I don't mind at all the lighter tree being almost ...I don't mind at all the lighter tree being almost center... I noticed and thought, "Gutsy!"<BR/>It's a beautiful, beautiful painting and I love getting to hear about some of your process and thinking about it.
