Comment from Kathy Banich
Hi Ray,
This is such a creative illusion of what I interpret to be reeds growing against a nearby shoreline of various rocks. The gradient color pallet used is aesthetically pleasing. Though illusionary and abstract, I find the subtle details (ex., new growth at the bottom of the piece), to set the stage. Nicely done!

James thank you so much for your wonderful review and rating. With this illusion I tried to let the under painting push through. I am so glad you enjoy it. Ray

Comment from orchidrn
I love this art piece, a definite rhythm shown here, so much so one can picture the movement of these sprouting growths. The colors together are pleasing and work well.

Hi Ray, I always love it when I go to a lake or stream and see the plants beneath the water undulating. The slow motion always has a soothing touch. Your image reminds me so much of that. You even have the right colors . I don't know what other people see but that's what I see! I like the vibes thos hi es off! :o) Nancy

Hi Nancy, this was an experimental piece revolving around repetition of shape and form. Definitely could be eel grass in a tidal flow or a kelp field. Thank you for your wonderful review. I am so glad you like it. Ray

Comment from soulfeeder
Yes, I can see the repetitive sequence of formations. I love the blue and green dominance in this piece. The yellow created a scene like a filtered light from those greeneries. It looks like a wetland for me with long aquatic grass. A refreshing scene consistent with the title that represents a new day.

Nieves, I like the under paint and the dimensional field. The wetland is prominent and the tall grass grabs the foreground eye. I am glad you were able to see into this too. Thank you for your fine review. Ray
