Beautiful work. Great colors and great use of light and shadows. Terrific detail work on everything. Love the scene and the little boy on the bike. Excellent job.

Jan,

Congrats on your Landmark Art Contest win! This is a very inviting scene you have painted. It looks like it could be an enhanced photo.

How nice to see the young boy biking and the straw roofs and coziness of the famous landmark in Exmoor National Park.

You are very talented,

AnnLinda

Janice, congratulations again on your deserved win! This is a beautiful painting of a traditional country hotel in a converted 12th century farmhouse. Perfect composition, great depth of field. I like how you used the light. It makes this piece alive. The shadows are transparent and colorful. All the colors are gorgeous ð???! You included a kid on the bike. Full of life painting! Sunny and warm atmosphere, pleasant view. And pleasure to review! My highest rating and the highest compliment! Bravo!

Hi Janice, this is an amazing scene, there is so much detail , it's beautiful and so very well rendered, I like that you put the young boy in the scene m he brings life as well as adding to the charm . Nice textural variety , beautiful show of the light and shadows, you have accomplished such excellent depth. This is a painting that I would imagine seeing in a gallery . It's outstanding !

A beautiful painting that captures the feel of the serene look of the centuries old inn very well. I love the roof and think the kid on the bike is very appealing. Best of luck in the contest.

Love that roof lol,, it reminds me of a place for witches to congregate in the middle ages, I can see all the work you did to create this, it would take awhile, the details are amazing, very nice
