I like the rich tones and how you have blended them and created the evening sunset look and still captured the light.
Lovely work with the majestic purples and orange tones throughout I love your sky and clouds.

Thank you Jesuel!
It would probably look pretty cool if I did it in Monet style, it'll take a lot more work though:))

Comment from Eleanor Perrotta
I love the softness and flow of the watercolors. This has great visual impact because of your choice of colors. You have used your media well. Your composition is simple yet appealing. Great contrast of colors. The glow of the sky lighting up the tops of the trees on left add life to your painting. A nice presentation. Good luck in the contest. Eleanor

Comment from Anne
This is an awesome watercolor painting. The way you have done all the wet washes in this and allowed the colors to blend together is stunning. I like the way you put the reds in this. The depth you created with your use of color and the vertical parts are excellent. A beautiful work of art. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Wildago
I find this most appealing for the choice of colours, the blending, and the softness. It soothes. I think your experiment was a success and wish you luck in the contest.

Comment from DrCArt222
This is indeed a remarkable representation, especially in terms of its profoundly haunting and mysterious ambiance. Your media technique is also worthy of note and closely consistent with contemporary impressionism. Very well done and thank you for sharing.--Dr. Carlton

Comment from terrifictoby
Such beautiful colors, so rich and deep with the hint of highlight as if the sun is peaking through the clouds.

I think that this goes well with the title of the contest. The colors are excellent. Do you do this type of painting every time you get a new set of watercolors? This painting is wonderful.

I haven't done this in a while, but I think I'll get a new set soon and try it again:))

Comment from Dazzleme
The watercolours for this has made it an effective artwork. They stand out nicely and with your technique work well. Good job with this.

Comment from Levon7
I really like this semi-abstract. It looks like an landscape, but could also look like an abstract. The colors are fabulous, I love how the orange jumps out at you. I like watercolor, and you have done an exceptional job with this one, very nice...Levon7
