I really like this..the composition is interesting and the colors are very subtle. I has a very relaxing feel to it. I especially like how the light is just peaking over the tree line and the few little flowers up front make a statement but do not over power the entire picture...very nice.

This is gorgeous. The flowers left seem to catch the first rays of the sun wile the rest of the forest is still asleep. The idea to contra weight the rising sun and the reflection with these flowers is excellent.The rising mist over the trees is beautiful seeming to reflect the light as well. It seems as if I could feel the morning cool and a slight breeze. These colors are beautiful. Much luck for the contest.

Beautiful piece. I love the early morning lighting that you have achieved, the flowers in the foreground give nice depth. Lovely work, best of luck in the contest. Shirley

I love this painting. I am no expert but I nonetheless love the composition and balance with the flowers in the foreground, lake in the middle and mountains and setting (or is it rising?) sun as background. The predominating color gives this piece a power that would not be there had you used more typical colors. Well done.

This piece is so pretty. The color purple make a definite statement. From the grass to the flowers to the trees everything is beautiful. I love this one.

Comment from Daliant


There is a mood of peace and tranquility here. The sunrise(?) is the centre of attention and the the eye travels to the flowers and plant in the foreground. Very good composition
