I agree it can be fixed but don't think I'm up to a fully proper
adjustment. The effect of the shadow seems to vary across the affected
area and there also seems to be a secondary shadow extending a bit
beyond the main shadow. It's also not clear if the lighter sky just to
the right of the shadow is what the painter intended or whether it might
be some glare from the room light.
Just lightening the shadow also seems to affect the color and, as you
can see in Philippe's modification, there is a gradient near the edge of
the shadow. Also Phillipe corrected the mild barrel distortion in the
photo or maybe just cropped it off.
I think it will take the Moose to make a proper fix. Meanwhile you may
want to carefully examine the image and note whether there are any
"errors" in the photo other than the shadow and barrel distortion. ie;
does the non-shadowed portion of the sky look correct? Is the bright
swath above the 3 mountain peaks at left part of the original painting
or is it possibly from room light? Anything else?
Printing on canvas may help restore at least a little of the original
texture.

The loss of this
painting in our house fire was a blow to me; I always liked it, all the
50 years I owned it.
It so accurately depicts the feeling after a hard
frost when it is SO nice to let the morning sun penetrate. The cows are
standing broadside to the sun to get maximum benefit. There's a
suggestion of the farmer standing on the right. It's also a realistic
depiction of a rough farm in the 1950's, on the West Coast NZ where the
rainfall is high.
It is overall quite a sharp image and I hope to be
able to print it life-size which was a width of abut 18 inches.
I
don't have the tools to lighten only the shaded left.
Any suggestions
- offers to try? The original image is about 2400 pixels width -
standard E-1 jpeg size.
TIA,
Brian
