    Thank you, Cathal!! I got a few boo boos here, but easily fixed. Thank you for the excellent review.

This is a beautiful work of digital imagery. I love the subdued colors and reflections. The tops of the palm trees seem out of place and not in step with the rest of the calming scene. Great work

Fantasy Island ! . A fitting tribute to the late" Mr Roark" of the TV series..
A very dreamlike setting to this,. The palm and the pools are giving us a warm and peaceful mood to view by. A very pretty seascape fantasy...Dennis

This painting is really lovely Shawn but I would not have associated it with you if I saw it with blinders on.
It has a realistic appearance and the colors chosen are nice.
It just doesn't have that "Wow" factor that most of your work has.

Comment from T. Hilt


Nice seascape, use of colors is nice, keeping to the pastels. The sun appears to be breaking through the clouds in the left hand side of the sky creating a great reflection of the rock formation and a shade of yellow to the tops of the tree; yet; you have the sun set low on the right side of the sky to. Nice title, creative techniques are great. Thanks for sharing.

When it's 30 degree outside, pictures like this seem to jump off the computer screen. Well done. I like the colors throughout the composition.
Thanks for sharing!!

Such an appropriate title for this piece! To me, it looks like the sun is just starting to go down and i see the beautiful colors of twilight painting the backgrounds such vibrant colors. I like your title and admire the colors.

This is very lovely. The palm tree shows up so well. Nicely done with the attention to the detail. Your presentation is good with the colours and the overall image!

I like the purples and blues in this piece. I could tell this one took a long time for you to do. The only thing I don't really like is the white feather looking things in the middle. It is kind of distracting because you don't know if it is water or something else. Overall, Great job! ~ Angela
