Yet another example of your beautiful 'outdoor art' project, with original paintings photographed in matching outdoor scenes. As always this is well matched and adds the shadows from the other paintings within the room from where you took the photograph. Thanks for sharing this with us. Congratulations for a great piece of work.

Ga, absolutely stunning! One of your best. I am still trying to figure out how you took this photograph. Great job, please post more of your original work!
Lots of love,
Aps.

"I am still trying to figure out how you took this photograph."

The, erm, reflection of the hand holding the camera in front of the window (reflecting the Boston Harbour) of the Real Estate Office, in which the painting is propped, pretty much gives it away. Isn't it a good idea to crank up the contrast and saturation values on photos like this, to add a little texture (and bring out the proto-Cubist, Juan Gris-ness) to the layered reflections?
