Great fall colors, and I like how the kayaker blends in, but is the central subject!! The reflection on the water really gives the painting realistic depth! Great job!!

Cool,Ray!
Messin' around with a kayak isn't somethin' that I'd willingly do but the subject of someone paddlin' along formed the basis for what I think is a great looking painting!
'Good Show',my friend!

Well painted piece or work Ray the lone kayak adds that extra touch in this scene and although is a lot of trees they don,t overshadow the rest in this one...Brian

A slight diversion from your regular style of abstracts. This autumn artwork focuses on capturing the emotions and expressions of the season, emphasising the overall mood. Well done. Good luck!

This is a little different then what you usually do but I love it. It's still abstract in a way but not as abstract if that makes sense. Love your use of colors and placement. Thanks for sharing!

I was a kayaker and this is an expression of what it is like to paddle through a reflective lake in the afternoon, so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the fine review. Ray
Comment from Christine389
This is such a lovely scene of the lone kayaker enjoying the colours of Autumn as they pass by the golden foliage. The reflections are very well done and the whole piece has a sense of peacefulness and a gentle calm. Lots of texture, great composition with depth in the trees and a really enjoyable piece to view. It demonstrates your versatility as an artist. I'm so tempted to award you another six stars here, it's fully deserving of them. If only they were unlimited or I at least had a bigger stash each week.

Christine, it told you the story I wanted tell non-verbally. You read it just the way I intended it and even better. It is so nice to be able to see and you have that. Thank you for your wonderful review and I am so glad you enjoyed it. Ray

A good looking nature image presented here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of a person sailing along a lovely river scene. Reminds me of a river trip I did on the Snake River, Jackson, Wyoming back in 2014. Well painted!

I use thicker paper and sometime I work with wet paper on glass or stainless and then it will dry flat. If already crinkly just spray with a mist then lay it flat between two flat pieces. I am glad you like it. Thank you for the fine review. Ray
