there's so much I still want to do here, but I'm getting over 2 hours and my writing abilities start to wane...but I'll do a couple more. In this piece, you have light rays literally taking over the piece, and dividing it into a ripple of different blues. Like what a fan does to the artwork on it, it dissects the artwork, hides parts of it in its folds, reveals other parts in the visible sections, etc. That's what you've done to this scene here. And you have varying degrees of dissolve in the trees and leaves: more of your so-sensitive layering of nature as filtered through atmosphere and mist. You know, perhaps, that one of the 'discoveries' of the Renaissance artist was of that very 'dissolve': ie, how atmosphere dissolves the presence and clarity of an object; and when the Renaissance painter started to include that dissolve in art, it transformed the more 'equal-focus' of much Medieval art (where the further you go back in space, things are still in fine focus; this is one of the reasons many medieval paintings seem "flat," simply because fore/mid and background are in equal focus, thus bringing all space "up front"; there are other reasons, but that's certainly one). Your differentiation of objects dissolved by space is just beautiful, Craig. Then the front-horse jumps 'into' that light, greeting it---beautifully conceived. And the light itself is delineated with gradated hues from light to dark, so that you create a sense of contour in the lightrays, you've modeled them into wave. I have no clue what that involves in Vue; but it's very well done. You handle light beautifully, Craig, so this is no surprise... And it's all in blue! The faded trees make for a wide ocean of images back there, and it does feel like a 'divine morning'. Quite magical and beautiful from top to bottom.
