Congratulations on winning this contest. Looking at this fine piece of contemporary realist art I understand why you won.

The colors all work in harmony with the theme. I like how the center of interest seems unpretentious yet it dominates the frame. The snow falls uncertainty on the horizon gives the viewer a break. the leaden sky speaks clearly of winter.

I happy to have run across this tonight, thanks for sharing ... Bob P. B-))

Oh COOL,Lise! : )
Your painting of this mailbox in the snow looks Wonderful!
It projects an interesting 'Cold and Solitary' kind of a tone that I'm enjoying a lot!
'Good Show',my friend!

The added frame adds to the painting which is nice. The strands of plantlife is a
rather nice touch. If the rusty-looking mailbox and it being a little lopsided is intentional, you deserve a "5".

    lol,, it is an old mailbox, they are not supposed to be straight, I guess you do not live in rural winter areas where the ground shift with each passing season, I painted what I saw

Yes- it looks pretty cool and you actually painted it so nicely. I love the framed finish you deployed- it's lending it so much character and appeal. You did a beautiful job crafting that mailbox in that snowy setting. Best wishes for the contest

Congratulations on your contest prize!!!
This is an intriguing artwork. The viewer has the impression of looking through the window of a cozy cabin window onto the snow-covered mailbox. I believe it is morning because the of the long shadows of the grass. The snow seems pristine. Your attention to realistic detail is impressive. The painting is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Wonderful painting of the mailbox being sinked in to the fresh snow and grasses peeking through.

Great colors and details that show the weathered mailbox so nicely.
Be good composition and beautiful background.

The whole painting is nicely framed with the wooden frame. The way the light is shining covers the frame and also painting. Nice presentation.
Congratulations to winning the contest, Jirina.

This reminds me of a Norman Rockwell painting. It has that nostalgic feel to it, slightly out of focus like old photograph. The shadows and the colours work really well together. The window frame is nice and warm in colour by comparison. Nicely balanced composition. Well done

A good looking winning image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of your mailbox out there in the snow. It was very well framed. Colours, textures and tones are good. Well painted and congratulations!
