This is REALLY interesting! The different textures and colour are wonderful. The almost realistic background against the cut-out rigidty of the coconut palms is beautifully represented. A really lovely composition.

Comment from DrCArt222


This is indeed an interesting composition, highlighted somewhat auspiciously by the mid-ground rock formations. The presence of your foreground tree represents at least two conspicuous challenges one of which you have overcome by the way in which you positioned and oriented the shadows on your rocks. As I may have shared with you in previous reviews, high-frequency colors such as red and yellow, especially when composed against their low-frequency complements, will always attract the eye first and invariably dominate the composition. In this work the dominance appears to suggest that their is a light source behind your point of view even though your background lends itself to the perception of an early evening sunset. I hope you will forgive my rantings.--Dr. Carlton

Comment from Ganev Smallwood


Another delightful composition, the colours are beautiful. I think it works well that you have restricted your colours to just a few. The sky is very atmospheric. The pools with their reflections also excellently well done. A really pleasing to the eye piece of work.

What a refreshing view you have painted, love this palm tree with its color and the reflections, with all purplish hue all around, lovely composition too. Seagulls all around, sun, and the ripples all around. makes a perfect view. Well done!
