I wish that we could meet again,
Amidst the autumns weary end
With sky beneath our feet, forever crying.
And in reflections birds and clouds, flying
Autumn, how long I’ve been without you.
Autumn, ships burn into the sky.
Autumn, take me, ever so high.
Where, worry has gone awry.
Autumn, I ask you why?
Autumn, it is darkness and despair.
Clawing at my soul, ever bare
Autumn, life is too unjust and so unfair,
Autumn, will I ask you, will I dare?
Autumn, we must end this weary, bleak affair.
And longer I know, why I simply care.
Autumn, on my life, I here to you swear,
Autumn you have caught me, unaware.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(The above poem and painting inspired by Russian song "What is autumn" Что Такое Осень by ДДТ, and my travels across Siberia)

neat retouch. I see what u did there, hehe. Sharpen and contrast adjust tools? Might be a bit too sharp in parts that way though.

First, dublicate the main layer, then go to "Image - Adjustments - Channel mixer." Click "Monochrome" and move red to 0% and green and blue to about 100%. The apply and select "Multiply" layer mode for the layer and but the opacity to about 40-60% to get more depht. Now merge the layers and go to "Adjustments - Color balance." Then apply the following settings: [link] . After that sharpen the image a litte. Then copy the main layer again and go to "Filter - Blur - Gausian blur" and add ~5 radius. Then select layer mode "Lighten". The just erase every "detailed" part from that layer and leave only the cloud with the effect.
That´s it.

Haha... shame on me, I haven't commented on your work (or anyone's work) in a really long time...years maybe...
But I will comment on this one. It's just so beautiful...and depressing for some reason. Maybe it's the 'autumn' concept and the woman walking alone, seems lonely...
Anyway, gorgeous piece. I expect nothing less from you. The detail around her feet astounds me.

Wow, this is a fantastic painting. Even you, one of the greats, have improved over the years, and I think this is probably one of the most realistic paintings I've seen you do (at least, in the time that I've watched you). I love the clouds and the water, and the stark shadows cast everywhere. Great job!

I registered in this website just so i could comment on this painting.
It's amazing, i like everything about it, the sky, the water, those strange shapes, the snow hills. Everything blends so well.

Suggestive .... Great work . The "uniformity" of color is gorgeous and the lights gives the painting a "mystical" Touch .
