A very nicely composed beautiful creative result, Gail!

Brava Gail, really a piece of great cleverness!

Wonderful, one of your best, dear friend. Congratulations. Mari

My sincere appreciation for the very kind remarks expressed by both of you. Many thanks for taking the time to let me know you enjoyed this composition.

sincere regards, Gail

The artistry in this image in terms of composition makes this image so attractive. The creation of making this appear as wall painting all the more made this photo appealing and beautiful. The texture and colour rendition appropriately feels as if I am looking at a truly wall art. Excellently done, Gail

Gail, I would like to thank you for taking the time to thoroughly review my recent image posts. This composition of yours, due to the excellent framing, the amazing warm and vivid colors and the wonderful vintage-like post-production, conveys a unique dreamy and mind-traveling mood. I like it very much!

You certainly achieved the effect you sought. Very well done!

Thank you! So good to hear you enjoyed this composition.

sincere thanks and kind regards, Gail

Sincere thanks Yannis,  I do appreciate your visit and those very kind words. I always enjoy visiting your images, I've come to be very interested in your lovely Island and the many interesting places you find to photograph. I especially like your many Street images. You have such a good eye for composition and colour. I love bright colours, textures etc. They brighten my mood and inspire me.

see you soon, Gail!

Sincere appreciation for those kind words. They made me smile just as your latest images did. You have such a positive POV on life and I appreciate your presence here on PN.

I was almost certain I had commented on this one........maybe I didn't click the "proceed" button....Hmmm I'm going to blame my forgetfulness on the hideous weather we are experiencing! 

But all that aside, I really like the effect and have to say it really does look very authentic.  It gives me an impression of Parisian art or possibly Venetian. 

Very well done Gail! 

Best Regards

Wall paintings direct on to plaster were usually done in Tempera . Pigment mixed with egg white was built up gradually giving a translucent depth to the colours . I remember having to mix and use it at Art College many years ago . With this image you have managed to recreate the effect with the help of P.S. A very good and effective picture , well worth printing . Bill

Old and valuable painting.  Very impressive.  Best Regards,

I am so sorry I had not seen your comment earlier. I do have some catching up on my Portfolio. I appreciate very much those positive thoughts shared re this composition.  I will try to get over and pay you a visit soon!
