This reads nicely, B.J. I know, I know,... but you know that some educated paintings can read.

And some appear to be psychic. :o) Thanks for the comment. I try to put some personality in the descriptions so that the reader can 'be there'.

Sorry, B.J. what I meant by saying the painting reads nicely is that the composition is solid, thats the buzz phrase, "this reads well". Its an awkward almost non-sensical phrase but its a comment on the painting not the writing, although I always enjoy your descriptions.

Oops. Sorry. Misunderstood. Thanks! I try to portray the scene before me while also suggesting pleasing composition. Sometimes I must move a tree or change the crest of a hill, but in this case what you see is what grew there. Nice when nature knows about composition, huh?
