Digital art at its finest... This is breath-taking, and confusing as I have no idea how you managed to digi-paint all this. You've chosen wonderful colors which give your composition a beautiful glow of optimism. You have masterfully balanced all the objects that finely compliment each other and engage the eye to circle within the borders of the frame again and again. All the details are thoughtfully considered and realized to the point of perfection - the trees, the bird, the shadows and the golden glow in the sky are all connected to form a miraculous, fairy-tale like integrity. Skills, talent and a wonderful feeling for aesthetics displayed in one piece! :)

Again your ability to render light is nothing short of Amazing. A beautiful work of detail, texture and beauty, is taken to the next level through your use of lighting. This results in a work of understated surrealism that requires the viewer to enter into an environment of realism or surrealism. A beautiful work Thank You!!

Like it, an eye catching work, a peaceful look and feel. Colorful, well composed and framed to show the beauty of a low sun time of the day.

Thank you so very much, George. What part of Oregon were you born? I was born in La Grande, my older brother in Baker and my younger brother in Klamouth Falls. Grew up mostly in Wash. State though. Good ol" Walla Walla, LOL! Nice to meet someone from my old stompin' grounds. I sure miss all the big green trees. They are having a lot of fires up there now, too. All up and down the West Coast, everything is so dry. :))mw

Typo: Sorry, that's Klamath Falls. :))

I was born in Corvallis and raised in the same area. As a teen, worked in Central Oregon on farms through High School. Lived in Boise for some time, my two daughters and grandkids live in New Plymouth, Idaho just across the Oregon border from Ontario. It is so sad to see all the wild fires going on, hope some good old Northwest Rains move in soon to help them out.

Comment from pfemd
I love this! It's whimsical and magical and creepy all at the same time.
I am waiting for the gremlins to appear, like maybe the abyss is just
beyond the foreground but we can't see it yet.
Wonderful detail, great yellow green colors.
Way out of the box.
