Light at the end of the tunnel

'Light at the End of the Tunnel' v.3

20x16 inches oil on canvas

This is a re-working of the oil paintings below

I wasn't happy with the light on the left, or the rock at top of hillside as they took away from the end of the tunnel theme

also the light itself was too vibrant. I took the pic below with my Iphone, whereas the one above was with my Canon and it much more natural
