I want a house like that :D Lovely work though I think that the lighting and colors need some more work (the leaves, grass, etc look a bit too monochromatic).
Well done otherwise :)

Very lovely style. I too agree with Dianae, hovewer. I'd suggest you to experiment little with the lightning and contrast (In Photoshop there are many tools that will help you with it: I'd personally go with Image/ Adjustments/ "Color Balance" and under that there is "Brightness/ Contrast"). I think it would serve the painting well if you would lift the contrast a bit and also darken the image. Using Color Balance tool, I might add some tones of red and warm yellow - that would give a lovely autumny athosphere :)

When I paint I have this habit of listening audiobooks to keep me working. And I'm currently listening The Lord of The Rings! (Sometimes I can't but wonder what a genius mr. Tolkien was, after the movies I had totally forgot how beautiful the books were) :D

Thank you for your comment, Claudia and Henna :)
It's true that I could use Contrast and Color balance tools to adjust my picture, but I never think about it. I think I'm using Photoshop as a traditional medium (except for textured brushes) but you're right, iot may be very helpful sometimes ^^ I'll try and fix my pics with youra advices. I also sometimes listening to music when I paint, but as usually i paint at night when my kids are sleeping, I can't put on music too much loud, and I don't appreciate too much earphones.
