Really nice author!! Good Luck!!

Love the colors!

Well done! Shes a beauty!

such an enjoyable image.... this would be AWESOME in a hotel lobby in say... Tennessee.. Carolinas or any where there are old mountains... exceptional work..

we often get lost in the tech aspect of creation due to the fact we have access to such amazing digital machines for creation.. sources and what not... we forget that the human hand can do all these things... but with a much more personal touch

Thank you so much for the lovely comments, they will encourage me to keep trying to paint.

Indeed a very nice piece of work.

Beautiful!

peaceful and beautiful.........GL

Fantastic piece author...Look like fabulous place on Earth...best of luck

It is a fabulous place on earth, and only 10 minutes walk from the centre of town.

Wow...beautiful colors and I agree it is a beautiful place...wish I could walk there in 10 minutes!

whoa!
i didn't expect this to be from this author.
i'm amazed. however, with your eye, i don't know why i am. :P i mean, you truly know how to capture things.
and i do love the colors. wishing you luck!

Whoa ! jadedink I didn't either.--- total surprise and very well done. This could be another niche in pxleyes for you.

Great to see you in these contests as well! You are a natural. Hope to see you in the song contest as well.

Love the feel to this....it is so nice! Great job.

Yeah!!!! Nice blues. You should do a lot more of this type of painting Author. You appear to be a natural and if so you will improve in great strides. Wet in wet is awesome!

Same texture with the oil application as your first one. was easy for me to know this was yours. simple approach but nice colors and the composition is OK also. Makes for a nice winter scene g.l.

Lovely light.

Fantastic drawing and painting...best of luck author

CANT wait to see the next one!

Great drawings author...love the creation but its very very sad...best of luck

Oh no...I didnt think it was sad....it is like that at the end of winter where I live...and the morning fog rolls around in the cool morning as the warm sun begins to come out on the cold winter ground...the trees do not have their "spring blooms" yet...it has a look and mood that may seem sad to some....but I still can appreciate your comment. Thankyou...and maybe my next piece will be in full bloom!

I liked the mood. It portrays hope. The colors are nice transition of warmth slowly overcoming the cold. Nice 1 author. GL.

For some reason it reminds me of a burnt forest. The fire moves away leaving behind skeleton trees.
Great work.

Beautiful work!

I love the trees author.

Great technique and beautiful result.

wonderfully done..well done..GL

Lovely

Oh! Wow! This is actually really cool how you got the water textures and colors like that in the sky. Such a lovely entry! It's simply inconceivable not to fav it. GL!

I gotta say Author, U Rawk!!!!

Different and creative, but too dark. It's hard to appreciate the bottom half of the image, because the values are too low key.

I think it needs dinosaur bones or something

Very cool work author and great title...well done

I think you have to do something with that camera of yours.
This is fantastic, and I am sure in reality it is better than the photo here.

it is awesome! (although, i do agree with marina...get something done about that camera!!!)
Your work is so good, it needs to be showcased in that way.
....that being said...i love how you placed things in this one. yes, bones of some sort, but..dinosaurs? i dunno... some spare space craft parts half burried in the surface would be kinda cool... Your shading and highlighting blow me away!

Its sold!

Very nice composition, but the tree branches are too symmetrical on the left, like the teeth on a comb. You need to paint some branches in the middle of the tree facing the viewer. Branches need to overlap and grow from different directions, not just the sides.
