Victoria thanks for the information and description about the painter Brett Whitely Baci and for your kind comments about my bucolic autumn scene with sheep, unfortunately the sheep in the foreground did not come out completely, as the picture was too big for this format. This painting in itself, its not too large, but it was too big for the scanner. So it was a matter of putting it with just the background or just the foreground, it is an awful compromise that has chopped up my original and complete composition. I gave this painting as a present to my aunt Dora and my aunt Norma liked it so much, that she asked me to paint the exact same scene for her living room too, so now there are two paintings of the same scene !
If someone is colour blind, they cannot see the mellow yellow colours in this painting. I devised this picture in a way that when the sun hits it, it literally glows all around the walls of the painting, it was a phenomenom that I still do not quite understand how I achieved this. One morning I came to work to my studio, and as I went up the stairs, I noticed this unusual mellow light bathing all the walls of the studio, as I arrived to see what it was, to my surprise, this painting upon being illuminated by the rays of the sun, it shone in a way that the mellow colours irradiated the light all around the pink walls as well. So I asked Peter to come up to see this, he could not believe it and neither could I. Now my aunt Dora has positioned her painting where the morning sun shines over it so that she can enjoy watching this mellow effect whilst she has her breakfast.

Maria,
I will try again, for the first time I just clicked publish, without doing preview first. The lines were out of order, so I deleted it.
I really just wanted to say that it would have been nice to try and capture that illumination in your studio with a camera .. maybe you could have then painted it all again!
Victoria,
I had not seen this comment ! What a good idea, why didn't it occur to me to do that ? Funnily enough, this picture does not photograph well. The one you see here, had to be placed directly on to the scanner to capture some of that mellow light.
