Not for some  Considering the last two owners were successful people out of the UK I'm not sure where your snide remark is going.

Mr Bloke   1,445 #9 Posted November 16, 2018 Hmmm...  ... I know it's a painting and therefore is an artistic interpretation of a scene and so it's not meant to be photo-realistic, but for that price I would expect it to be a bit more accurate.  Has anyone else noticed the angle and length of the persons shadow?  Linky here  Now if the Sun was so low as to produce such a long shadow, wouldn't it also be behind the hill on the left and therefore the bushes in the middle would also be much darker?  And if the Sun was high enough up overhead to light the bushes then the shadow would obviously be much shorter?

Broakham   10 #12 Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) What an obscene waste of money.  It looks like something a decent painter and decorator could knock up in their lunch break. Edited November 16, 2018 by Broakham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
