This piece is 13” [33.0cm] x 10-5/16” [26.2cm] and was taken from
a photograph we took on 16 Aug. 11 close to
Claude Monet's estate in Giverny, France. This piece presented a
major challenge in Perspective, but with the help of Peter White I
was able to produce what I think, is good perspective. Re-do's were
unfortunately many until I achieved some semblance of what I was
trying to achieve. It was finished with 6 coats of sanding sealer, 3
coats of satin wipe-on-poly then finally polished with Renaissance
wax.
