This is another enjoyable pastoral scene. Excellent separate devotion to the puffy clouds pillows, beautifully drawn and the landscape with the tonalities exquisitely rendered. Add a Horse and cart or some folk on a picnic and we'd have the feeling of a Constable! Forgive me for seeming to like this excessively without even a twist in the pathway or a little duck finding it's way home!

There's a painterly feeling to your presentation of the vegetation in your photograph that makes me think of this work edging so slightly into the realm of a painter's world. Of course, your sky is too perfect for that, but I do see a signature in the land.

Dwayne,
Your clouds are magnificent. The levels of bright are so well distributed. Having said that, there's a large gap between the style of the sky and the ground. Have you considered working on the sky to match the softer effect of the land? This would require invading your perfect brights which you have so far guarded.
