Firstly, I read and really enjoyed your beautiful poem - I found it poignant. So that's a lovely accompaniment to this very lovely painting. I admire traditional artists so much - mine is all digitally generated then just tweaked by hand.
My eye is drawn right into the image through the overhanging canopy of trees in their Autumnal colours. I'm left wondering where that path leads to. It's such an enjoyable image to get lost in - fully worthy of 6 stars.

    Woohoo! There is something about pathways that I love including them in my paintings so much. This one is vague but there! I am imagining another one with a man walking the other direction towards her. (Smiles)
    Thank you so very much!!

A lovely colourful painting in acrylics with an equally well crafted poem makes this my fav view for the day. I write poems and short stories and have published 6 books in the last 3 years. Well done! Keep up the creative work.

Jewell this painting is brilliant and your accompanying poem is so insightful and soulful. The bold red and yellow colors vibrate against your blues and greens and are wonderfully reminiscent of a Leonid Afremov painting. The painting and poem together are fabulous!

Jewell, I enjoy your painting in your signature style. I see you in your cathedral of trees in the autumn rain traipsing along making your way through and determined. The colors are vibrant and varied. You used the yellow to declare your path and brighten your way. This has a very strong message, to follow ones dreams regardless of doubts. In the words of Dylan "Keeping on keeping on". Also you are a talented poet. Ray

Hi Jewell, I feel blessed by both the lovely image and the beautiful poem. Both were a treat of the lovely skills you have. The poem is a perfect match for the image. I know if I were walking this path I'd be walking into something beautiful! Have to give you six stars for this combo! Lovely work My Friend! :o) Nancy

A good looking image posted here together with an enjoyable poem. Your fine and full composition grants us an enjoyable view of a woman enjoying a walk through a wet park. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

This is more than amazing and deserves to be on the wall. The red and yellow dominant colors are blending well with other contrasting colors like the various shades of blue on the right side. The character looks pretty elegant. The Autumn setting is so dramatically presented. Love the accompanying poem. Excellent painting techniques, well-thought choice of colors, and the story was conceptualized in this painting. Well composed. SIX!

Wow! This is beautiful! I love the poem too! The tall lady wearing a sleek red dress walking in the forest through the trees all dressed in autumn is so well created! I love that she has her umbrella too! I love the way you applied the colors here and the way the greens and blues frame the path and the woman.
This is truly a pleasure to view!

    Read it again. It didn?t post properly as a poem. But perhaps poetry isn?t your thing.
reply by suffolkbrian on 28-Aug-2023

reply by suffolkbrian on 28-Aug-2023

    Yeah, the format was so strange at first. It compiled it all together for some reason!
