This is my digital version of the painting. It was challenging to resolve it. But I like it worked.
I love that orange glow around the moon in the cloudy night and this is what I tried to show here.
I attached the perspective check based on feedback from Tom and reminder to myself: perspective is a base and I should not be lazy.

Its great .. thanks for sharing ...
Nice work Sunny...Moody!
Sunnylady, this looks fantastic. You have created a lot of feeling in this painting. Your new medium worked very well. Keep going, cheers
It looks nice, though the perspective of the building is from looking above on it. On purpose?
Super composition Sunnylady! Even tho it’s a winter scene, there is a nice soothing warmth in it! Beautiful!
I love the low light throughout!
Very nice scene. Great job!
Really nice!
Thank you All for visiting and commenting! Appreciate your kind words!

@Tom- I did not really draw the cabin. I tried to make convergence point though on the horizon.
Good idea to check how far I am from the true perspective! Thanks a lot!
That is a beautiful moon Sunnt.
Love it Sunny.
@Tom - good eye! Perspective is okay-ish everywhere except roof top. I like this perspective checker/builder tool in the app I used to paint this painting. I was a bit lazy and played by the ear and it showed.
Maybe you misunderstood me Sunny. The perspective is not wrong. You can paint a building by looking from above to it or from below. This perspective is from above. Like the viewer stands on something higher than the building itself. This is what makes me wondering if it is on purpose?
Very nice
Aaah, i see now Tom. There is no way to change view if to follow perspective rules and horizon line is almost at half of the painting height (also if higher) and object is small enough in proportion to the rest of the landscape and below the horizon line. If I could make the hut bigger (2-3 times) then it would have perception of being at the same level as a viewer.
the other option would be to break a rule and try to place the hut at different perspective angle in the same location where it is now, but in that case it might feel foreign to the rest of the painting. i must admit I just went in with painting and did not think much about what result i will get and what i want to express, i just wanted to paint.
A lot of Bob Ross paintings have horizon line very high and most of my previous paintings from BR i just followed video and did not think about the perspective rules. But if i did it would result in the same point of view from above if the cabin is small.
Anyway, what i mean to say, thanks a lot for paying attention and making me think a bit better and most importantly to self-check.
@Tom, I went to check all painting with Cabins from Bob - visually 10-20% have wrong perspective on the cabins. However majority is done in the way where the cabin crosses the horizon line and it changes the viewer point to be at the similar level as cabin and perspective is not bad at all.
