An amazing painting. From a distance looks like a photograph! Really wide open spaced and great painting of the aeroplane, on ski's.Emminates a feeling of Wide open Spaces.The ripples on the water and texture of the sand is realistic, and the plane superb, with detail! 5***** Regards Angela

I think the treeline competes with the airplane, but the painting itself, and your technique, is very VERY good! :)

Artist Statement
for Robert Hadfield
I am new to painting. I retired in 2007 and started painting in March of 2009.
Bought a lot of books and have been having a lot of fun. Paint one or two a day and am on (hopefully) a good learning curve.I paint from pictures I have taken during my life in Alaska.
