Done for the art test over at The ArtOrder.

It was entirely painted in Photoshop. Hope you like it!

Update: After reading critiques (especially what *keepwalking07 pointed out about scale), I made the house smaller, and I think it looks much more convincing now. Let me know what you think

This piece creates a setting that is very peaceful and serene. The impact though is not that big as it seems quiet almost. The clouds, shadows, and sunbeams are all so beautifully blended and add and air of realism. The details of smoke rising from the chimney and the lighted windows were nice. The half-buried plants by the gate help paint a realistic setting. The mountains in the background really help frame the small house. There are a few small issues with the perspective though. While the mountains are pretty well-scaled, the house seems just a little to large for the landscape as it looks about the same size as the large stone by the gate. Overall a nice piece.

What do you think?

The artwork here is original.
I love the colour and the tones that are used in this painting, especially the sunrise (or sunset).

The values in this painting are done quite well. They work quite will with perspective, though I think the perspective could of been done better. I like how the steps lead up to the house, but I don't like the stone thing at the gate but that is just my opinion on it.

There wasn't really an impact on me, it's a nice piece of artwork but I don't really feel anything towards this, I would like to hear what other artists have to say about the impact of this painting.

Overall this painting is great and would be a good addition for your portfolio (if you have one).
