Finally, here it is. It gave me hard time for a while, due to lack of proper light for painting it (and the "mood" , but it's finished and I'm pretty satisfied with a final result.

Not so satisfied with a photograph, unfortunately. It seams impossible to get rid of the"glare" on some points and this is the best I could do it, but still far from perfect (maybe even far from good...sigh ). Part around the moon is mostly damaged and it is lighted too much. In reality, it's much darker.
Anyway, on this or that way, I would welcome comments, as this is one of those paintings I prepare for exhibition and I'm pretty nervous about it.

The trees are wonderful, looking old and gnarly. There is a good sense of depth. The sloping forward position of the figure seems a little bit unnatural.

On the boat, the starboard gunwale is raised higher from just aft the bow to just aft of midship, but is not seen on the port side. Is this intentional? I admit to never having seen that before, but it is possible I suppose maybe for fishing purposes to drag nets up on.

--------------------
The trouble with photographing oil paintings is glare, and also uneven lighting. The trick is to light it well indirectly, and not use fill-flash. Then fix it in Photoshop. Flash causes all the problems. Without flash, the light is probably too low for perfection, which is where Photoshop comes in. it is especially a problem with highly textured oil painting, like with palette painting where the paint is applies with a palette, not a brush.

It is best to invest in a scanner, which will still required Photoshop.
