Comment from Roger Hilleboe


This work is sooo pastoral. Reminds me of a painting by one of the 19th Century landscape artists like Constable. I was never a big fan of these guys but here your digital magic has transformed the mundane into the near sublime.

What beautiful picture this is. Unfortunately, my image showed no mountains. But everything else is truly fantastic. Wonderful use of light and shadow, Great capture of the water. Wonderful textures and color harmony. This really speaks to me. It makes me want to find this place and really sit and unwind. You deserve more than what I am able to give you. So sorry for that. WOW

Creative presentation-sort of a beautiful lazy day with beautiful scenery. Good color harmony-the colors work well together to set the mood. Good technique. Good lighting. Good sharp images. Great point of interest. Good depth of field. Wonderful story telling ability. Very good detail. This evokes very soothing, yet adventurous feelings by your viewers. Great job.

Very nice digital painting. Love the colors and depth in this. Good perspective. Had to look really close, but found the dirt road finally. A little hard to spot. Very good impact. Good presentation. Good lighting throughout this composition. Very nice to view. Enjoyed it.

Comment from Rons Pen Art


Wonderfully done Shawn! Love the sweet sense of nature, untapped and natural! The old dirt road and this water wheel are the only signs of man and it is as if nature has claimed back this beautiful location! Love the brightness and warmth instilled in this digital painting through natures sunshine and your gift to create the "beauty of nature"! The water is so interesting and gives the viewer a sense of motion, a sense of movement! The large tree and it's location are perfect for this serene sense of seclusion and privacy! Thanks for sharing your talent, such a pretty view! Take care!
