Xabi's Art Collection # 2 + Best Comment Giveaway
I just bought this 2nd hand painting from a local art gallery. It's an oil on canvas one.
What I like about this the most is way the artist has focused the abandoned fort. I love how astutely different intensity shades were used to project the 3d look of the fort.
Second thing, that got my attention is the magnificently created reflection in the lake. The reflection of all the greenery and the fort itself gives the painting a real like look. The fine brush work used is creating the reflection is remarkable.
Also, the selection of vantage point is exemplary. When creating this piece the artist must have had the furtiveness in mind. Selected vantage point is naturally camouflaged by the trees and shrubs, perfect for a spy or frontline observer to have a clear view of the fort without being noticed.
But all of these are just manifestation of my imagination. I cannot be 100% sure about the artist's intents.
So anyone with a better/different story is more than welcome to use the comments sections below.

This painting is indeed a beautiful work of art, looking at it,.am drawn to the white mountains and how it surrounds the fort. The mountains give the painting a base as it contrasts with the green leaves of the trees and bushes.
Also, I like the way the artist made it look like a picture taken from a distance to show each element in it's best angle as reflected by the water body.
Congrats you are the winner for the Best Comment. Thanks for the wonderful comment. Your prize (1 SBD) is sent to you.
Thank you so much @xabi... It's a pleasure being here and winning too!
The art is indeed Exquisite and carefully done, considering how the artist incorporated the depth cues, the contours of the mountain giving the idea of it been away from the fort itself, the beautiful reflection of the sun, the fort and th3 surrounding objects on the lake gives you and indication that the scene is in the morning since afternoon light would hv interfered with the forts reflection. Also the bush through which the scene comes into view gives u and indication that it is a secluded base, hence no need for spy protection. The appearance of the fort also tells that there's more to what u may be observing thus there's a likely hood for and underground base.
