Reminds me of my most recent Art History Class. We went over Church's paintings for at least two weeks. Truly an American style.

He is one of the best; I finished one up last month, not near the class as his work though. It is a composite of several old mills that I have seen in my travels. Acrylic on canvas, like to do watercolor but it doesn?t like me, some of my better works are in oil, of course that is my onion. listen to my wife she thinks they suck she likes the acrylics. I like oil because it is a lot easer to blend; Acrylic takes forever for me to blend ,it sets up to damn fast.
