Great painting of the garden view from the cozy porch. The view of the flowers do cheer up the viewer and you as well as you are recovering. Nice colors, composition and overall pleasing presentation. Brenda, Get well soon!

Brenda, this is a delightfully colorful piece of artwork that would surely cheer me up, at least temporarily.
Sorry about your ribs! That's painful!
You did a fantastic job on the fine details of your abstract painting. The woodgrain and floor tiles add such a great detail!

Comment from Glena Jessee-King


This artwork is rather nice in its style and it is colorful with the reds and yellows, greens. The fence in the back is best, in my opinion. The tree shadow and the trunks with the knots are rather nice, but the one in front is larger, smaller, then larger which is incorrect; the basket's front shadow is better than the back one; however, you can improve most of these elements. With more work this can be a fine drawing.

    Well I am pleased you reviewed this but disappointed in some remarks. It is not imagination but a real place that I loosely painted not realisticsally which I am not a fan of.

What I delightful scene. The bright colors of the floral display add so much cheer. I hope your ribs felt a bit better after sketching this scene. Your POV gives us a wonderful view and it is like we are there with you. Great use of depth and shadows.

This is a drawing with strong visual impact because of all the strong colors, and I especially like the strong shadows from the wooden poles, because it is giving such a fine indication of the strong sunlight.

Your host must have a very idyllic porch with all the flowers and the fine view. It is fine details to be seen all over.

The format and framing is perfect, and it is a very good balance in the composition. It is a lovely and well done drawing Brenda, and I wish you luck with the contest.

This is a wonderful entry for this contest Brenda it is indeed colorful! I'm sorry at you fell and hurt yourself , I love that you created this while resting from the fall. This is a way o turn an unfortunate experience into something beautiful! I like the wooden post on the porch and the planter off to the left, I like the large flowering tree and the fence , I see clumps of flowers growing off the porch on the right .
This is a lovely view from the porch. I think you did an awesome job in creating it.
Well arranged and presented!

I am sorry that you enjoyed yourself but I am glad to see that you soothed yourself by being artistic. I find art to be extremely soothing and healing. This is certainly a lovely scene that you have created with your colored pencils. I love your technique. Your choice of colors is beautiful. It really pops and draws interest to the viewers attention. I hope you are feeling better. Thank you for sharing
such a lovely work of art.

Oh my what a beautiful painting and the conceptually is divine. When I saw this piece, it was so attention grabbing it could not be passes over. A piece of art I would place on any wall it my house. It takes me back to my childhood.
