Oh, this thread is a feast to the eyes and the soul! The birch trees by the stream and the lovely shadows they cast on the bank? That's where I'd like to be...

Thank you Dee and DF - such a wonderful collection of work here to feast upon.

I really like William Stanley Haseltine's work; I think he is my favourite; I just love the quality of the light in his pieces it seems so real, bright and radiant.
I particularly like Sail Boats off a Rocky Coast, Capri Arch and his Italian Sunset.
He also has a distinct quality of summer light in some of his coastal and river pieces.

I'm also in fascinated by Daluz.

Visual-gasms this Tuesday morning. The work here is astounding. Such a beautiful thread and true escape into both light and muted tones. The angel above is truly stunning. (Closing eyes and breathing in the magic.)
