I've dabbled in abstracts here and there. Love this image. It's colorful, and while abstract you can tell what it is. Good luck in the contest!

Thank you Lynn for this wonderful and thoughtful review. All art is an illusion or fantasy created by an artist. There are two general unachievable boundaries or limits, which are reality and abstract. The work of a realist approaches reality and the same goes for abstract artists toward pure abstract. All art has a mixture of both. Then there are categories such as Realism, Surrealism, Fauvism, Impressionism, etc. Just something to ponder that has helped me to understand art.

Thank you for the luck. Ray

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of those pretty blooms thriving in a desert. Textures, colours and tones are good. Well painted and good luck!

Fred. I am so glad you enjoyed this painting. You asked for an indication of where this very strange dessert is, well, it is located in the bowels of my very strange mind, of course. LOL. Strangeness keeps it interesting, I am sure you would agree. Thank you so much for this fine review. Ray
