Oh! Artist friend Jewell, that eagle is really done well. The bottom ground work, water, foliage, and rocks both in the front and distance are simply heavenly. Congratulations on your second-place win. It looks like a hiding place, and is very serene indeed.!

Really clever and talented work shown here. This is a beautifully painted tranquil scene with great depth and detail. The double waterfall is just lovely and the foliage all blends together really well. A pleasure to view!

A double water fall, a stream, sun drenched sky, clouds and all those necessary delights and to top it off a soaring eagle. Jewell you have done a fine job capturing all your joys and displaying them. You have beautiful thoughts and a fine way of expressing them. A virtual 6 for you. Ray

I love this painting. It's beautiful and the eagle is an amazing touch to the perfect background the colors are wonderful. I have nothing but good things to sa6 about this painting and my favorite part is probably the waterfall. It was perfectly done.

This looks like a piece of heaven on earth. I really love the elements of your composition especially the waterfall, the evergreens, the river, flying eagle, and the garden filled with beautiful and lush plants. The layers and textures of the foliage are so pretty and it looks so real. It is a delight to see realistic colors that harmoniously blended together. Excellent drawing and painting techniques. High on conceptualization, creativity and storytelling ability. The portrait orientation accommodated all the elements of this painting. Breathtaking!

What a beautiful setting! Love the waterfall and the eagle. The whole scene is breathtaking. Places like this are so wonderful to visit and just relax. You did an exceptional job creating this. Think I'll just walk into your image, pull up a chair and enjoy the view! Wish I could give you six stars! :o) Nancy

This looks a lot like Mt Shasta to me which is a very sacred place. Feels like a special place; almost holy. The waterfall makes me dream. I want to swim in that water. Love the orb looking glow around the sun.
