I just found this (after being off-line for toooo long). This is beautiful. When I was a child, in England, we lived near a spot like this. It was a place where we kids would escape for the day and imagine Medieval castles and games.  This is so peaceful and recaptures those times. Thank you for that, Skylar.

Thanks. Sarah. I love your reminisences. I was happy with the way this turned out. By the way, the bridge is based on Baumbridge's small bridge - that isn't where you grew up, is it?

Nice piece, but I feel the placement and size of the signature detracts from it a bit.

Thanks Bill - i dont see it, but then again that's always the way I sign Things

OK, I've been busted on my signature more than once. Here is the deal - It is intentionally large, and applied only to the uploaded image. The original has a more discreet Sig.

This is very peaceful. I love the colors and find myself gazing at the rocks and bridge over and over. Lovely painting!!

I really like this painting.  I love to paint stones.  I paint in Watercolor and your have a completely different look and feel to them, really great!
