On this little sand island in Portugal, villagers grow these in the sand near their houses. They rarely get to fill size and produce fruit but they have a charm in an otherwise greenery lacking place. So I love to see them. Here you have reproduced my favourite leaf. The colour superb, the leaf formation is real yet has a contemporary feal. Wonderful capture of sunlight. This was a pleasure to see and review.

you are delighting in the wonderful patterns and shapes of the banana plant by putting a diffused background of echoing colours. Wonderful work here.

Another winner, Seshadri! I love the color palette in this painting and the loose painterly quaility. I am a big fan of watercolor paint merging into another color letting watercolor do its thing like you have done in the background! The analogous colors are your winning attribute in this work! Well done!

Quite an interesting and enjoyable image posted here! Cannot see any bananas tough!! Perhaps you painted this lovely image at the wrong time of the year? Well painted and good luck!

I like the expressionistic appearance of your panting. I still recognize the plants as Bananas by their colors. The Bananas are amplified by the dark area of the background. The plants are well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.
