Your photograph is wonderful. So painterly. Tones controlled so well—one of your great strengths. The link is interesting. I didn’t know that printmaking started as a means of illustration and only later became a medium of artistic expression. Thank you for both.
Thanks Linda. I learned quite a bit from that article as well. It’s especially interesting to me that Corot saw so much creative potential in light sensitized plates and paper that far back — photography was still in its infancy.
A magnificent image. A photographic Corot.
Thanks Ed, I love Corot. As was the case with a lot of 19c French painters, there’s a connection with photography. Here’s an interesting link on that:

Oh, what a glow. That’s what June feels like, isn’t it? Really beautiful.
I’m going to come back and check the link later when I have time.
I agree…June foliage (and shade) comes as such a welcome surprise each year.
I love the lime-green color of spring leaves but in June the fullness is luscious. You really made that apparent in this photo.
Thanks
