Wow, I've been gone for a few days while doing some visiting and then tearing down and upgrading my computer (new HD, new monitor, upgrade to Win 7, reloading all my software, actions, etc.) and this thread is still producing really beautiful work.
I especially like Mike's "Into the Trees" and Keith's "Christ Church Cathedral, Stanley, Falkland Islands".
Here's a corn crib at a farm nearby.

Thanks for the welcome, Michael. I'll get working on that blender... the weather this time of year often keeps the Harley in a snug warm place.Welcome Don. Leave the Harley in a snug warm place for a while and start up the blender!

Mike, the mood is great. Just would be a bit worried how the large dark areas would look on a print.Ocean Fire
I was watching a documentary one night about Turner's life and paintings and it inspired this image.

Hi Uwe,
Actually I am working on a 36x36 inch print of that for a show I have coming up in Laguna Beach this spring. So far it looks great and I think the wax will work with it well. The dark areas are deep, but it is suppose to be a dark and moody piece so I'm happy with it. The wax over that adds depth and texture which probably helps as well.

Re: Turner Inspiration
I really like these images of yours inspired by Turner's light (or rather - dark).

Thanks. I guess I've been going thru a dark period with my images. At least that's what my wife says.

Re: Turner Inspiration
I love dark. But these prints need strong museum light to show what they are.
Re: Turner Inspiration
I think viewing dark images on a monitor can be hit and miss with the general public, but I imagine most of us on this forum probably have calibrated monitors.
I find that with most of my images that are blends, they are usually on the dramatic side. There are the exceptions, such as this one which looks good in normal room light.

We have a variety of prints hanging in our house from light to dark and we also have track lighting, so the prints that need it, get the good spot and others don't need direct light.
