Okay, It's a red herring, it's one of mine.  :blush:

Here are the faults:

1) The mountains look like pyramids
2) The clouds aren't right
3) The big trees need to be shaded more
4) The trees on the left look like they need shifting back to give the painting more depth.
5) There's a round coffee stain above the fourth tree (edited out using PSP)
6) The mountain doesn't come down far enough, it's floating in the sky.
7) And a few more

Still, I was only about 16 and it was my first attempt (and last) at a full painting.

I used the Bob Ross wet-on-wet technique.  ;D

It's actually signed ANT (for Anthony)

Well you may see the faults TC, but I reckon it is a sight better than a lot I see out and about!

Just lightly blend it, one hair and some air. Haha, and just beat the devil out of it.

If i were you TC i would get yourself a good art course, and go for it......it could be a new career....

Thanks, but I don't have the painting spirit that my other family members have. My Grandad and all his 5 brothers were oil painters or artists (all miners too, i think). My aunt is an oil painter, my mum enjoys it too.
