A nice capture of this peaceful place. Great colors and composition. You can almost feel a slight breeze and hear the silence. Something here puts a tear in my eye. Thanks for sharing.

    aww thank you so much for the generous review and the touching words, it means so much to think something I created would have that effect. The original photo, had that effect on me, it just seemed such a beautiful scene and had such a peaceful feel like you could just sit there and all your worries would drift away

A very nice Fall painting. I love the colors of the leaves on the ground. The bench does look very inviting, although it does give the impression of being a little low. Wonderful piece for a wall. The colors are so vibrant and remind me very much of Fall in Michigan or New England. The old trees in the background are painted so very well. They have character and definition. I also noticed the the wood that makes up the back of the bench has graining in it, which also makes the scene more realistic and adds to the character of the piece.

    I liked it very much, I just knew that my old knees would have trouble getting up after sitting there for a while, lol.

This is a really lovely drawing of Esgjag's Lonely Bench photo...I remember seeing that. This is really beautiful. The colors are amazing and the whole scene is very serene. Nice work!

I cannot begin to tell you what an incredible impact this has on my soul. Your creativity is so excellent. The colors you used just makes this pop. Center of interest is that bench with its beautiful surroundings. Story telling again I am honored that one of my photos inspired something so beautiful. Wow. Thank you my friend on the other side of the pond. Your talent as I said is a gift from God. Never forget this and you will rise to the top. God bless you and once again thank you.

    Send me your address and I will mail you a copy of Lonely Bench so that you can reproduce as many times as you like. I have a feeling this piece will take off for you.

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


I would say that this is one of your better works in pastel. You have shown the impending mood of Mother Nature very well. Bright colours and composition makes this immensely viewable!.

    Ooh thank you Seshadri, you know what this nearly hit the bin, I really didnt think it would turn out well but I kept at it and I agree I think its one of the better ones, funny how it all turned around. This one taught me to not doubt yourself and just keep going. I am so pleased you like it, I cant seem to stop doing them at the minute
