Your sky colors are very attractive. I enjoy your style of layering and blending of your colors. The shading in the mountains and the landscape is nice. The color and shine to the water is also very attractive.

You have certainly kept the overall scene as it exists, intact. Your muted pastels work well for the sky and sides of banks/mountain. I would like to have seen a little more movement in the water. Overall, a very pleasant piece of art work.

this is such an incredible piece. your colour work is soo gorgeous and also the way you have crafted this one. your nature work and aspect is 100%. at first looks like a brilliant waterfall. another perfect feature is the oh so expressive sky..an artist on very top form...

El Capitan is very well know, and the artist has captured him perfectly The colors of sunset are lovely yellows that set off the peak. I feel as if I am there and just watching the mountain as the sun sets. Well done.

If you have followed any of my work, you know that Yosemite is my Garden of Eden on earth. I love it there. Any time of the year. This is El Cap at best. Nice portrayal. Love everything about it. Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Comment from Linda Engel


A lovely blend of pastels. You have drawn the mountains with majestic style I love the yellow/gold color that lines right above the top of the mountains and spotted on various areas of the rock. Good depth of the water going around the bend. Nice tall green trees on the right side giving the painting nice contrast.
I love the stormy sky and the billowing clouds. Very nice.
