This is excellent work, and I admire an artist who is unafraid to let the skill of his artistry speak for itself and not interfere with the scene ,but represent it accurately and skillfully. A true talent.

A excellent piece of art such detail and precision in this beautiful work of art well done this must surely be the winner   

kathleen saxon (13/11/2009)

The painstaking attention to detail has produced a rich atmosphere here. Subtle use of light and shadow suggest an Autumnal early morning. This beautiful depiction is as welcoming as the village was, upon my first visit, many years ago!
