o my...is this his birthday present...lol...gl author

yes .. remember the saying "you can have your cake and eat it too"

Great entry and a great sbs..., good luck to you

Beautiful. Nice work.

well shuck my corn and call me grits... I do declare I may have just peed myself.. a little (got my depends on so I am fine) .. Now do American Gothic ...purdy purdy purdy please?... hehehe.. super duper perfection.. and the SBS is exhaustingly excellent (I know exhaustingly is not a word but I may as well earn the thumbs down I'll get shortly... hehehe.. seems to be a trend LOL)

Any whooooooo... GREAT JOB!!!... I do back flips if I wasn't so top heavy (very big head) LOL

GOOD LUCK and awesome SBS!!!

Fabulous very peaceful scene author...i see some personal mark on this one...look very soul-ish...well done

so this is how to counterfit art - awesome work

Very, very nice!!! Yep!

Really nice, well done

Wyeth was a very subtle colorist. He was never this monochromatic. The hues of the main subject always stood out from the background.

Wonderful work, cool sbs! GL author

Hey man!! Love this result!!! Best of luck!!! fantastic!

wow! this is facinating!

On it's own it looks like a picture you took and just change the tones and texture, that's how good your blending is. But when you look at the SBS, you can really see how much work went in to this, and now I like it even more, goo job = )

@ Emik - Thank you so much for noticing. Your comment is really appreciated as I was afraid that the work I put into this would not get noticed!

Thanks to everyone for your comments and favs!

Very good entry.

WOW, this is incredible work, author! Great sbs, thanks for sharing, those are some interesting techniques. I think the high-pass adds a sort of sparkle to the foliage. I personally like the subdued tones and I think Mr. Wyeth would be impressed.

Again I want to thank all for the wonderful comments and recognition on this image. I was afraid it would be too suble.

I got really sick last Wednesday with what the think is Bronchitis or possibly Bronchial pneumonia so I did not get the voting and commenting I would like to have done but please believe me that as soon as I am on my feet again will be around to visit your latest art and fav anything I have missed! Hugs to all ... from afar as no-one wants what I have!

Congrats for 2nd

Congrats.., very nice work

Congrats!!

congrats and well done Nancie

This is why an SBS is so important - it's a pain to remember to grab a screen capture when in the throes of creating and tweaking, but only a detailed SBS reveals the intricacy of techniques used (and some great tricks!) This is strikingly beautiful in its subtlety.

As for some comments... last I knew, a tribute was a nod to a style, an interpretation, not an imitation.

Good creation... love the flowers, and the plants, good luck!

Lovely vivid colors. Fit perfectly this magic garden

very cool work author...gl

Somebody's been very busy with Fiddleheads

Wow, very beautiful mood and colors!
Adoro seu estilo!!!

Thank you, dear!

Obrigada querida, bom te ver por aqui!

Lovely work ... very moody image ... just a thought about composition, have you considered not centering the house? It might add some more tension to the image and enhance the already great mood ... check this out if you are interested http://www.jakegarn.com/the-rule-of-thirds/

Great work Author and GL!

Very nice , especially I like the mood ...good luck author !

Thank you Mario and Arc!

Thank you for your comment and hint, Arc, I changed the perspective of the house to distinguish it from my original stock, but it was a good idea that you gave me, it has not changed! I should have thought more! I saw the site now, very interesting! Thank you!
