[QUOTE="skanesokarn, post: 1867257, member: 14559"]The painting is not as thinly painted as appears in photos, I believe the effect might be due to the camera on my phone :) It's oil on canvas and one cannot see through the surface! It appears that this painting originally sat in a much older oval picture frame than the square I have now; I don't have any information as to why someone exchanged it. I'm simply curious to find out more because this "quaint" scene struck me as rather idyllic.
