A stunningly beautiful painting Katya with a photographically real quality that completely embraces the essence of this snowy sunrise.
It is soft and gentle with a magical blend of wonderful color in all elements that perfectly enhance this lovely scene where the eye can take in all that it has to offer and dwell in its midst.
i don't know the inspirational artist but will look him up.
I'm sure with a talent like yours you have done him justice.
This will have my vote!

Comment from Linda Bickston


Very dreamy. Just an excellent picture. What I love the most are the bare branches of the trees. Winter, so cold, yet the cabins are warm. The light in the windows, and the smoke from the chimney.

Beautiful Winter scene Katya! Love the view with the trees, fence, homes and lone boat all kissed with snow.
Great textures and details showing a cold wintery day.
Nice painting skills!

I'm always impressed with painters. I'm not allowed near paint and paint brushes! LOL

The colors are simply stunning and the effects you added from the smoke from the chimney, and the rose colored reflection on the frozen river are spectacular.

Bravo.. Standing and Clapping!

Hey Katya,

This is excellent and the snow looks so crisp. It's a very beautiful oil painting and should do well in the contest. Good luck and thanks for sharing! R

Introduction: First and foremost, my aim in delivering an Image Canvas Review is never to cause offence.

Following on from reading Type Talk at Work: How the sixteen personality types determine your success on the Job, I outline my personality factors below:

Extroversion Factor of Seven.
Introversion Factor of Eight
Sensory Factor of Five
Intuition Factor of Four
Thinking Factor of Six
Emotion Factor of Five
Judgement Factor of Two
Perception Factor of Six

All the above factors indicate that my character is mainly driven by Introversion, Sensory Stimuli, Thinking and Perception.

Type Talk at Work: How the sixteen personality types determine your success on the Job was authored by Otto Kroeger, Janet M. Thuesen and Hile Rutledge.

As a backdrop to my review observations, I am happy to divulge that my interest in Photography mainly focuses on the interplay of light on a subject or object and the surroundings encompassed within the four corners of a camera's viewfinder. Fuji Velvia Slide film and a Lightbox are still highly thought of, which probably explains why I am a follower of Photography by Michael Busselle, Joe Cornish, Lee Frost, Tom Mackie, David Noton, Charlie Waite and John Webster. My self-absorbed thinking is not always concerned with Landscape and Travel. Occasionally, I enjoy shooting the odd Still Life using soft diffused window light.

When it comes to Wildlife Photography, I am aware of the work of Andy Rouse and just how far he pushes the boat out with Lady Luck at his side.

Art is undoubtedly the cornerstone of all Photographic paths, tracing it's true roots back to cave drawings and etchings.

Digital Art has surely passed everyone's expectations, and has led me to occasionally explore the challenges and creativity offered by a Fuji Finepix S2800HD Digital Camera.

I do not hold a teaching qualification, but I am BTEC National Diploma accredited and a NAWE Professional follower / member.

An Image Canvas conveys it's character by making astute use of the following disciplines:

The Arrangement of Parts
Right Time, Right Place
Movement and Exposure
Manipulating the Image
The Play of Light
Colour in its Place
The Big View
The Final Shape

Observations: The Landscape Composition lends a real tranquil air to your Image Canvas.

Captioning is simple and has been well thought through.

Creativity of presentation: First Rate
Color Harmony: Outstanding
Centre of Interest: Well seen
Technical Excellence: Respect
Technique: Imaginative
Story Telling Ability: Strong

Conclusion: A worthy addition to your Portfolio.

Thank You for sharing and enhancing my journey as an Art Reviewer.
