Very nice digital art. If I had more stars, I'd give them to you. Very peaceful with these pastel colors. Nice sky and land line. Love the weeds framing the front corners. Water and reflections are very good. I could see myself taking a nap there. 'Enjoyed.

This is very beautiful. The colors are gorgeous, almost making the image glow in a heavenly way. It has a very peaceful feel. Good initial impact, good composition, and obviously a lot of technical skill.

Comment from SharsArt
I love this! Excellent composition and balance. Excellent color harmony and tone. Excellent use of textures to add character to the photo. Love the sharpness of the plants in the foreground against the softness of the background. This is technically excellent and as serene as images come. Job well done! Thanks for sharing!

this is a little different than what I am used to seeing from you. I like it though. It looks great. I thought it was a real photo. The reflections on the water look great. How long does a piece like this one usually take you. ? It looks great keep it uop. I love seeing your different styles

Colors are very nice. Details are good. DoF is nice. Lighting is good. Like the way the sky is reflected in the water. Possible story telling here. Thanks for sharing, Southernbelle

A dream of summer now were autumn is there and soon winter will come to the colder parts of the planet. It is a dream many have in the big cities summer and winter. I remember haw I dreamed it years ago trapped in a city with a wall around it. The picture is serene cheerful and moody. The colors like a dream or a fading memory.

I love the beautiful lavender pastel colour and the reflections of it in the water. The light in the center of the water gives it a mystical look which I find very appealing. The movement you've created in the golden coloured trees is fantastic. A lovely fantasy like scene!-

A wonderful creation of a lake scene. The reflections in the water clearly visible.

Your creation is very enjoyable, and nice to view.

Thank you for sharing.

I believe you are the only painter who can bring a liking of pastels to my mind.You know I am not fond of pastel work but this is so beautiful and your going to think I am crazy but "quiet"You used such a light palette with the exception of the gorgeous sky and clouds.
It's a very relaxing painting which I am sure is going to come away with an ATB,
Great job Shawn,
Angelheart:)
