A pretty scene from Lancaster County I painted

[lunatica]

16. It has an enchanted aura

Your composition is really wonderful. The trees and shrubs on either side almost look like they’re parting to give you a glimpse of one of those magically enchanted places that seem to thrive away from people. It’s a wild place with only the stone bridge to indicate any human factor. The light is that almost surreal over lighting that makes the greens and yellows just glow.

I really like the interplay of flatness and depth that you’ve rendered with the bridge and the canopy overhead. It draws you in as if it were a lit cave beckoning to admire and wonder about and in it.

It’s a warm and happy painting of a special spot in the woods.
