How gorgeous. It in deed looks like Washington. My husband is from Sunnyside, WA. I have seen it just that way. [Mmmmm Walla Walla Sweet Onion...]
It is an indeed beautiful painting. I love that birch with her autumn leaves and how the yellow weeds run up the hill. The single bird flying into the sky and the beautiful dept of the picture.

I really like the fall colors and you really brought them out with the mid tones in this photo. Overall really nice balance with this photo and painterly shy and hawk. Nice work.

Comment from KLJCameraworks


Great piece of art. It invites the viewer to sit down in the grass and pass the time. The single bird in the sky and the sun catching the blades of grass in the water are poetic. The restraint on color makes you want to stay in the scene and enjoy the warm afternoon. Great Work! Thank you for sharing.

Comment from bint


Excellently done. Believe me when I saw this picture on the digital side I thought that someone had accidently placed a photography there.
I love the look of it. The maroon leaves and the shaded trunk. The glistening water and the golden grass. The sky is also nicely done.
A small advice from me..see the top of the hills..it is contrasting too much against the sky..that is because the texture of the bottom of the hill and the top of the hill is the same..my suggestion is you lighten the top of the hill and make the spikes smaller.
A thousand thumbs from bint :)

    Thank you, Bint. I did fix what you mentioned, but haven't had to chance to upload it again yet. I softened the tops of the hills and added a bit of haze over them. It looks a lot better and adds more depth. I should have noticed that. Again, thank you! :)shawn

    Looking through the eyes of a stranger helps a lot and art must be observed a week later to find the faults.
    Your welcome and glad to be of help. :)

I also love the colors of autumn. This is a wonderful work of art. The colors are depicted perfectly. You've put everything in appropriately, the lone tree, the grass, reflective water, the fence and soaring eagle. Great work!

Comment from fila4


Well I love your color selection as it certainly gives one the feel of fall. The overall setting is quite nice with a few details like the fence post with the broken barbed wire that personalize the scene. The tree is gorgeous. I like the rolling golden hills and the lone bird. Very nice. Thank you for sharing.

Great piece. Autumn is my favorite season. This work shows some of the beautiful fall colors. Good job on the details like the water with lily pads growing on it and the bird in the distant sky adds another point of interest.
