Matter of fact, the thumbnail is quite impressive... I had gone straight to get a canvas, and when I was selecting the board and saw it, I came back to look at it here and I almost never do that. I was not disappointed when I saw it larger, I like the sketchy/watercolor style of it. Very pretty picture. (wish I were there, wherever that is... the wind is blowing ninety-to-nothing here and it's getting collllld :(

This makes me go, "ooooooooh, ahhhhhhhhh." :)
I think what's really the most interesting in this piece is all the different texture works you have going on. Some things look smooth while others seem kinda edgy. I have to agree with FM too....very peaceful :).

No way crappy. This is very pretty, and it looks like you did it with colored pencils and watercolors. Very beautiful scene.

Absolutely beautiful, the way you did the shadow of the tree reminds me of the eclipse we had, very nice :D

This is tres nice. You've captured a very nice mood here, when i look at this, i feel like i'm strolling in a sunny little italian garden with a gentle breeze blowing, tasting fine wine. =) This is going into my favourites folder.

The shadows on the path are my favorite part of this.
