love the painting as usual. great art. u should be famous already lol. love like 99% of your paintings that you post here.

the photo is a bit too overprocessed and noisy for me.

Thanks Leels. That's why I made the painting.

That's one beautiful painting !

Just wanted to chime in on this one. I really like that when presented with a so-so image capture in which you could see potential, you take the time to reinterpret the scene through drawing and painting to get it the way you wanted to see it. I've often told folks who asked me why I became a photographer that it's my deep impatience with my ability to draw and paint - if I could do either of these as well as I photograph then I would do that instead.

Don, you are an artist.

I agree with with cindy. Its a beautiful painting and interpretation of your original photograph. I too have been a frustrated artist forever. . . fine work Don
