It is definitely colorful and very well suited for this contest.
I really like the many different colors you have used and how you have carefully placed each color in an appropriate area of this scene, so that there seem to be 'waves' of color moving through this painting. It is also very appealing, the way you have scattered the softened green leaves throughout your painting and accented all of this with the darkness of the tree trunks.
The more I look at this work of art, the more I like it. Very, very pretty. Thank you for such beautiful landscape and all the best to you for this contest. To me, this is the winner!

    And so you should. If ever I get settled down, I may just get back to you about purchasing it. It will be a while though... In the meantime, enjoy it to its fullest! Cheers and God bless you, DJ

This is very colourful and well created. I like how all the flowers are different colours because it makes the picture more interesting, good job

Colorful it certainly is. LOL.. nicely done. I like it. For some reason it reminds me of Spring, Summer and Fall all in one. Nice job.

    Thank you so much for the review, I never thought of it like that, but I love that idea, I think I will make out that was the plan all along ;)

This is a great colour study and thus a great entry into the contest my friend. I love the pathways of petals on the forest floor and the colour they carry with them. The tree trunks indicate large mature trees and therefore their leaf rooftop would be quite extensive blocking out a lot of the sunlight and thus the colours would be more green. This is an amazing piece of whimsy, I suggest you change the category to fantasy or abstract though. Cyn

    Thank you so much and Im so sorry for the late reply. I was really pleased with how this turned out. As usual half way through the painting I was thinking uh oh this isn't working but the more color that went on the more it started coming to life. I landed up getting this framed in the end, who would have thought it he he

Comment from Badger


I know who's this is coz I've seen it on another site and it is not your usual thing at all. It has a vaguely impressionistic style to it that is pleasing to the eye and as you say is most colourful and bright, helped by the brilliance of the light peeping through the canopy - what more can I say?

    Ah there is no escaping me is there he he, I didnt know you were on there as well, what your username on there? Thank you so much for the review and sorry about the late reply

    I only lurk the other site, primarily to see the work of FAR members I know are there in finer detail than FAR allows so that I may give a more considered review, however I did sell a picture from there once!

    The overall standard on that site is way above my league!
