This is such a curious photo. The colours are very nice, and the purple background enhances the purple in the rest of the photo. Love the detail in the sand. Very interesting, well done.

This is a remarkable still life artwork. Very imaginatively created.The colours of the flowers and plants are remarkable and are placed well.The smaller flowers on the plants look like small lamps! Overall the composition is faultless. Well done.

I think what stands out most is the textures you have rendered. Also the colors are soothing. Your lighting techniques are fabulous. Cool visual impact. Thanks for sharing your unique art.

Good composition, I like the placement of the plant to the left and the stretch of sand in the lower section of the painting.
I especially enjoy the purples in this, the background looks almost royal and that lone purple flower tells a great story. The repetition of its colour in the bamboo (?) around the base of the plant looks great, it blaances it very well.

This is wonderful Shawn.. I like the purple "ribbon" arching around the sand and the slightly mottled background.. Expressive and vivid colors really bring out the design very well. Its always nice to see your work!...Dennis

As usual, the work appears elegant and poetic. The texture ration is always masterly. In this work, it is done especially well for the sand. The main flower seems to be a light source for the surrounding.

This is a beautiful piece of artwork. Love the detail of the plant and the beautiful colors. The violet ends on the greenery really gives it a lot of impact. Nice contrasting background and texturing of the foreground sand. Very nice work.

Great textures here: the prickly surface of the stalks, the grit of the sand, the deterioration of the bucket. Perhaps it's from too many monster movies in my youth, but the purple tendrils have a slightly malevolent feel to them - which just make the whole endeavor even more interesting a beautiful to me.
