This is the enlarged photo as it looked to me when I was painting it.
Same oil painting from a distance. I had a very difficult time photographing this painting to make it look like it does in reality, and I'm not sure it succeeds. Had to lay it on my living room floor in indirect sunlight to get even close. In the classroom and in my home, the difference between the up close version and the distant version is astounding, at least to me. I've never done a painting like this before, where the depth of the subject jumps out the further from the painting one stands. Tom Thomson, for those who don't know, is a noted Canadian artist, one of the famous "Group of Seven." See more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Thomson

Some good autumn colours there! I photograph a lot of work in the same way...on the floor.
This is gorgeous Carole! I love the earthy colors you used, and the autumn scenes are my favorites!
really like this. brooding and moody always speaks to me. the 'group of seven' are wonderfully inspiring.
Love it! Photograph art is a hard theme, but I think you did it great!
I sure like this. Strikes some place inside I guess. Great work!!!
You did a great job on this. I'm surprised the photo was taken in direct light, it seems a little dark.
