A study of a piece by the frontier paintier Albert Bierstadt. There is an earlier version here that was heading for a better destination but I kinda lost track and ran out of time on this one.

ah yea you know I have a soft spot for Bierstadt he just made lovely works.
I really like both of these, good job there.
One thing that distracts a little and I'm not sure what the original looks like but that is those brown trees in the near middle. I know it is a study and such but I thought I could tell you anyway.
very nice and keep it up.

I think just about every grandma in the country has a huge Bierstadt print in her livingroom. In other words..I'm pretty sure I've seen this one before.
I like what you did to the colors.^^

Perfect atmosphere of the picture . I really enjoy the lighting and colors here. Wish the picture could be little bigger

From what i can remember, it does look quite like the original. There's one hanging in the allergy clinic near here, check it everytime I go. The mood is very different in your version though, an interesting twist in its emotion.  |

| Ceenda, both are nice, but I personally like the earlier version better, more life in it. |

Cheers for the comments and crits guys.
There's a large version here:
http://www.flyingislands.co.uk/wip/bierstadt_study_large.jpg
Matthew: Thanks. Yep, I know what you mean, those should probably be a bit more detailed.
Anthony: Cheers.
Gyst Hyu: Haha, thanks. It's almost impossible to find Bierstadt prints in the UK. Most of the landscape stuff is either Turner or Constable over here.
tiger1313: Thankyou. There's a larger version linked at the top. I think I may have rushed some of the details and maybe caused some of the depth to be lost.
frantic: Thanks, it's all done in Photoshop using a selection of custom brushes.
The Insane Lemur: Danke mein Freund! (my German isn't too good, hopefully I haven't just insulted your mother or your prized BMW etc.)
-tai-: Cheers.
wassup: Yep, you're right. The earlier version was a bit more crisp and I think I'll go back to it and work on it from there. Thankyou. |

ceenda-i just got back from the museum of fine arts in boston,where i saw this painting for the first time.i was surprised at how small it is.anyway,your copy does capture the feeling of space that the original does.
yours is much cleaner,too |
