    BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Perfecto. Something new (at least I haven't seen the likes in photo manipulation), and yet old and painterly. Fantastico!

    So it feels like a painting, feels like art, and less like a photo, although that degree of similarity to that effect could change some either way (photo or painting) and you would still have a winner-- precisely because it's about your eye and not the technique. Very successful! Personally, I do like that it has a painterly spin certainly in this case.

    Superbly luminous artwork. Warm tones on closer range against cooler ones in the distance tells much also of your technical knowledge enhancing Your amazing artistic talent and creativity. If You look for similar images on google You find a long list of marvellous landscape artpieces .... it says much about its chromatic value as well then.

    thanks D Akey, I was very happy with the way this worked out.

    Beautiful painting! This village is located in Liguria (Italy). Forgot the name but I have been there once, just on the little beach right under the old bridge. Gorgeous place which you have painted perfectly!

    thanks for the information Fabrizio1958... this is from a photograph my step-son took while traveling in Europe and Italy... nice to get the name of a place and have you recognize it!
