Green and blue together are always a hit. The dark upper right works but below there is a piece of red and kind of washed out light green, which does not, the rest does. I rarely criticise and try always to be positive but you are an excellent artist so I dare tell you the truth, and I cannot guage your technological art, as I do not now what is good with it and what not, so have to review what ever trad art you present. Trees and sky are a world wide delight.

Comment from Melyuki


Hi Sesha thank you for sharing this most tranquil and emotionally calming scene of the Forest Tract.. I love the outcome you have achieved.. The arching branches are nicely balanced to form a truly harmonious picture in my mind's eye. the brush strokes used to render the leaves offer great textural value, giving the limbs a fabulous three dimensional appeal. The use of lighter shades to highlight the foliage is a lovely inclusion and brings excellent depth of field into the forest itself. The darker hue used to render the arching branches contrasts well against the richness of the foliage.. excellent use of shadowing brings a feeling of movement in the forest, as though a breeze is sweeping through . The darker green colours used both on the top right and bottom left brings good balance to the forest of trees and helps highlight the lime green foliage .. a great effect that allows the mind's eye to imagine where the sun is sending its glorious rays ... Love the red hue used to truly enhance the scene.. the splash of contrasting brightness adds its own personal joy and a happy splendor amid the greenery.. great choice of colour and nicely placed within the forest.. The occasional scattered deeper mauve flowers are a pleasant addition.. bringing a lovely visual display into the foreground.. The choice of colour to render the sky is perfect.. It is soft and inviting and the drifting white clouds have such a soothing effect on the mind. beautifully blended within the sky and complimenting the vivid tones used to render the foliage below. I really love this scene Sesha.. it resonates a feeling of peace, serenity and pure joy in my mind and is a sheer delight to gaze into and ponder.. Thank you for sharing this happy place.. I'm sure the trek you went on must have been splendid.. If it allowed this magnificent painting to manifest in your creative mind, then I can only imagine the trip was full of great joy for you all. It has been my absolute pleasure to review.. cheers mel

    Once again it gladdens my heart immensely to read your positive review and the wonderful words. We all imbibe from nature consciously or unconsciously. That shows in our works. Colour is a progressive art. I try to manipulate it for aesthetic purposes. Thanks so much for the positive feedback, great review and fantastic rating. I appreciate your support my friend!

Comment from Linda Engel


This painting is very pretty and different from your usual style. I like it. Very creative looking up through the trees into the blue sky.
Very nice clouds with a hint of sunshine. Love the various colors scattered though out the bottom portion of the painting. Very well balanced. So pretty.

Sesha I really love this piece!
The lush rich greens against the beautiful blue sky immediately catch your eye and engage your emotions in this beautiful work. The slight added color is a perfect compliment to give depth and life to this gorgeous nature scene. So so very pretty and soothing! Love it!

Literally, a cool creation.
An interesting initial impact.
Nice interplay between foliage of different hues

Low vantage point enhances the visual language of this image.

Bluish skyline serves as a perfect backdrop.

Good perspective & long depth of field... T

Thanks for sharing...

Beautiful vivid colors and overhanging branches seem to envelope this painting. Like how the blue sky is central to the view yet the orange bush needs to be more vivid to be real. That seems too blurry when all else is vibrant!

Hi Sesha!
That's a very attractive scene tat you've presented us with in this lovely painting,my friend!
The scene reminds me of how the deep forests in the hills here in upstate New York look in the late Summer!
A 'Good Show' indeed,my friend! : )

A beautiful scene which is shown in very fine detail. I like the rendering of the cloudy sky and think your technique on the leaves is excellent. Great composition and beautiful colors.

Comment from shoregrass


This is wonderful. The lusciousness of the foliage jumps right out at first glance. I like how it is composed with the bowl shape of the foliage. The beautiful blue sky behind seems to beckon for one to push the lower growth aside and enter more of the wonderland. Excellently done!
