What a beautiful little world you have created here. So idyllic. Love the colors. The detail you have put in from mountain, to meadow is great.

Lovely Shawn, I think one of your better landscape paintings.
I love the light and texture in this the most...the sun dappled foreground grasses, the luminous lighting on the pool, and the way the light picks up the delicate tracery of the foliage, and the textures of the distant mountain range. Wonderfully luminous sky too, and I like the contrast between the softness of them and the crispness of the landscape below.
There's a wonderfully magical quality to the light and textures, giving the impression we've stumbled across a little pool in some faraway fairy kingdom.
Beautifully rich colour, lovely little details like the rocks to the left, the flowering bush to the right, and the outline of the pine trees against their mountain background.
Only thing that bothers me is the main tree. I think it's a bit heavy handed for the rest of the painting...too rigid an outline, and the branches too big and solid when compared to the rest of the piece...a bit "ball on a stick" if you don't mind me saying that. I'd let the branches roam a bit freer to create an irregular outline, and give them a more delicate tracery.
Anyway, this is still a beautiful piece Shawn...and looking forward to seeing more in this vein

Thank you so much, SirThomas, for the wonderful review. I did take some tree trimmers to the main tree, and I think it looks a little better now. I tried a new way of doing trees, but don't think I'll do it again cause my old way is much easier and looks more natural. Again, thank you for the excellent, in-depth review. I truly appreciate it :)

My pleasure Shawn...and thanks for the nomination! :)

Agian another incredible piece of artwork!
Digital artwork amazes me. I can not fathom how it works.
This is a beautiful picture! I like how the branches of the pine trees make the mountains look rippled.
The detail of the tree in the foreground is neat to look at.
I really enjoyed this artwork thank you for sharing!

This is very well done, looks like watercolor, very natural work. Great composition, flows beautifully from grass to mountains. Colors are bright and complimentary to each other. Love your lighting to the grass, water and mountains. Your attention to detail is fantastic, even the water falls through the trees. Great piece. Peace.

This is so lovely diigital artwork you have completed here. It is so lifelike and your use of the PSP and your technique has presented this well. Nicely detailed with the trees. Love the colour of the sky.

Nice piece of art with good initial impact and nice detail. The color tones look nice and appealing to the eye of the viewer. The reflections on the water is created nicely.
Thanks for sharing.
