The top picture, which I cobbled up from several others,  comes nearest to the composition I want,
but it's still too close-up.   It should have much more space, be deeper and dreamier.

The other pictures, which are actual paintings, are included to show the spirit of what I'm trying to capture.
Click on any to see it full size;  you can then scroll. 
There's a "roll-of-film" icon at the top of all the full-size pic windows.  Click on it, and you'll get a sit-back-and-watch slide show.
