I began this painting in January and just completed it today. It will be presented to my clients next week. This is the first oil commission I have ever completed so I am quite nervousl I have such little experience in oils and no experience in landscapes so I'll admit to some blaring problems with this painting. But there are aspects of it I like and boy, did I learn a lot from accepting this challenge.

Now I am looking forward to doing a portrait painting, head and shoulder. I have four or five images to choose from - eye candy I have been dyjng to paint!

Thanks for looking,
Patty
