Very nice piece of work. I love the colors, they have a calming effect. The trees are perfect, I like the twists in them you were talking about in your notes. Nice job.

Very nice watercolor with excellent since of depth and scale. The tree and dog really anchor you and the branches point you to the fence and tree that take you though and deep into the woods. Well done

Hi this is a pretty cool looking piece the colours and detailing looks pretty good as well, but it seem a bit bright/exposed, did you scan it?
Thanks

The trees are the one thing that caught my eye first. The twisted trees on the left seem to point the way up the path. The fence also helps lead the eye there. Dog in the foreground adds extra interest to the shot. Colors are wonderful and blend well together for an really nice painting. Good shadow and highlighting throughout. Well done. Love it.

    Thanks so much for your comments. The trees intrigued me when I took the original photo. Glad you like it.

You have done this beautifully and very lightly and not overworked.
Love the colours used,and the way you have done the trees.
Watercolours have a technique all of their own,and you have used them well.

    Many thanks again. It was on another beach in NZ and the trees were what made me want to have a go at painting it with Polly, of course.

Great picture! I would love this to be on my desktop screen. Good choices of the subjects and colors. This deserves a solid 5 since the composition is magnificent.

Very beautiful watercolor. I like the border, because it almost makes the work look like a dream. I also like the reflection of the dog from the water.
