This one is gorgeous, too! It looks to me like it's stained glass. Very vivid colors, and it's interesting how the foreground colors are primarily monochromatic, while you reserve polychromatic blends for the sky. This really is a striking piece.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful, never any 6's around when you need them. I love the design but the colours are so bright and beautiful. Great light with very good depth to snow covered mountains. Full of grace. Sandy

Going around the world again, aren't you? It is somehow different from what you have posted lately but on the other hand it has your persona;l touch. It reminds me of old Japanese painting but of Chinese painting as well especially the coloring. It also gives the impression of stained glass. Another very interesting and beautiful work of art,

This is so lovely! Your colour scheme has worked so well with this. It looks like stained glass and I feel the porcelain finish has very delicately done its job to present this so well. Your technqiue has worked well! Awesome skill!

Gracious image! The contrast between the red and blue makes the visual impact so strong. But the delicacy of the trees and sweet shapes in the background makes the whole picture very delicate.

Moonwillow this is gorgeous.
The colours pop out at the viewer and the composition is superb.
Oriental art always draws my attention and this image is no exception.
Impact is definitely 'in your face' in a very pleasant way, and you have done very well with this.
