Painting the Warby Hut, Stage 4, Detail and photo enhanced version. 05/08/2010

The finished artwork, The Warby Hut by Kathy Shell is on the left

A photo enhanced brighter version is on the right hand side.

Which version do you think would be most suitable to make the print?

I have received a lot of requests this month to paint commissioned art works. This is my training, this would be my love, but my lifestyle does not allow me to accept commissioned art work now, I paint for the love of it when I can fit it in. I am in retirement as a professional artist

The few paintings I now do are entirely 'free choice both in subject and how long I need to take to complete them. This is the only way I can fit painting into my lifestyle, which has changed from being the artist who writes to the writer who paints.

Wow Kathy,

I like them both but the one on the right hand side almost looks 3D and I kinda like it better. The one on the right looks almost like I could walk into it. You do beautiful work Kathy :)

Thanks Michelle :-).

Quite often the slightly exaggerated intensity of contrast, photo enhanced version is a good choice for the print, and the more subtle natural version is the ideal for the original art work which has an extra dimension when you look at it that is not visible in the photo so your opinion would be close to my own.
It is very valuable to have friends who i can gain a second opinion from. :-).

Cheers and thank you kathy.

Extra opinions are still welcome and invited :-)
