What don't you like about it? Look up The Group of Seven and check out their paintings. Yours is similar.

It’s far better than anything I could do . I really like the paint on the ducks , but the water imo could be a little different, not sure what though .
Good work as always though John

I agree Rainman - the water (paint is called lake Blue) looks too nice for the type of area it's in. But I didn't want it to look too drab by making it more grayish or brownish. Maybe a little green mixed in. It's probably a one of a kind anyway so I'll worry about it if I do another. And that's a big if. Lol

But Chuck, they actually painted. This is just following a carved pattern - like paint by number.... but you get to make up your own numbers. I think of it as adult coloring.
