hello there,

I really like this painting because of it's subject. It;s a classic story that you've painted and because I like it, and you were kind enough to veiw my work, I'm compelled to give my critiques on this nice piece...The yellow ,to me, is not overwhelming but something is missing. After looking at it and coming back to it a few times, I want to ask "Is it completed?" Someone else had mentioned that the boy seems to be floating and that he needs a surface to stand on. Well maybe yes, but how about something in the background to further tell the story. It could be a wooden fence. It could give perspective or reflect light. Maybe he's under a shade tree. Maybe he's near an old barn or stable. What time of day? What season? What do you think?

Well - here it is - the final 'Feeding Time'.  Thanks for all the input as you can see, it helped alot!  I loved the feedback - it makes me work that much harder on each piece. 

Yes, but always open to suggestions. ;>

I noticed it does come across a bit darker than the actual painting.  It is hard to take pictures inside and have the colors the same as the actual painting. 

My next one, I promise, will have nothing to do with feeding!  (Smile).
