Stirling Road 10 years ago

The image below is of the view from the front of Stirling Road, a small painting , acrylic on board, which has been lying around the house for years, unloved and unnoticed, except by me. What interests me is that this scan flatters the original somewhat. The original is now looking very tired, the top left-hand corner of the Daler board is dog-eared, and the whole thing needs refreshing, cleaning and varnishing.The original has an area of flat black inside the shed on the right, which shows as a wonderful Prussian Blue on the back-lit screen, which in turn plays off against the equally vibrant orange of the tree on on the left-hand side.In short this computer image has a powerful sense of light, space and airiness which I , sadly, did  not create.
