Thomasin,
Thank you--your appreciation of this painting means a lot. The color scheme is very different from yours, but that's what makes looking at other artists' work so interesting. I'm convinced people actually see colors differently or at least react to them differently. I couldn't for the life of me paint with the colors you choose, but that's why your paintings are so fascinating to me. All those chromatic changes within a very small value range! When I try to paint without light and shadow (on a cloudy day, for instance) I am not very successful. I do love dramatic lighting like the light in this painting. I used to exaggerate the contrast because I loved it so. It took me years to tone it down to a believable value range.
