I love the title Pleasantries and it also fits and is consistent with the visual. I love the use of various lines and the colors that contrast each other yet harmoniously blending in the overall picture. We all need an enjoyable atmosphere and this painting is much-needed. Excellent painting skill and techniques. The landscape orientation is appropriate and this deserves to be on the wall.

What I like the best about this painting is the panorama format and the incredible light. It almost look like the blue part are transparent where we can see the underneath colors.

The color pallet is stunning and makes for a strong visual impact. And as always, great textures.

It is a fine flow and balance in the composition, and also a feel of motion. A great looking and well done painting Ray.

A very pleasant and colorful piece of art artwork here. The colors go very well together, while I don't see anything in particular in this piece, I can appreciate the colors and the serenity of the piece.

    Hi Michele, This is abstract and the arrangement has no particular theme and it was meant to be enjoyed just as colorful, bright and robust. I am so glad you enjoy it. Thank you for your wonderful review. Ray

Hi Ray,
It is pleasant to see flowers and birds - the return of nature in the spring! Lovely work here that has an appealing panoramic presentation and wonderful flowing colors and intimations of shapes and ideas. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful painting with great vivid colors and changing texture throughout.

There are many different kinds of pleasures and rot is one of them. You captured this one just right!
