A beautiful of your Saturday in the Park with the Trees behind the flower bed full of colourful flowers. Created by your artist's eye for composition very skilful brushwork beautiful choice, blending & application of your colours in bringing this scene to life on your canvas.

    Thank you Susan for your wonderful review, rating and complements. I am so happy that you enjoy this. I included a figures in the green area in the lower left area. I think it was missed in the mass of flowers. Susan again, thank you. Ray

I can imagine that this is a lovely part to go for a walk, and even if the bed of flowers look very pretty, and also offers a great contrast, it is the background that fascinates me the most.

The rusty red colors look so great together with the green bushes and the shapes and lines are truly intriguing and with great textures.

The format and framing is very good, and it is indeed a fine flow and balance in the composition. I think this is a great looking and well done abstract Ray.

    Annie, thank you so much for your wonderful review, rating and compliments. First I did the background, then the girl in the white hat, in the lower left corner. No one as of yet found her. But that happens. And then came the flowers. I am so glad you enjoy it. Ray

This is an interesting post. I it looks like the person walking in the park is taking in all the floral surroundings. It reminds me of some of the orchid shows I have attended where winning specimens are displayed against greenery and rock formations.

What a beautiful artwork Ray!
The concept of a place to enjoy and relax on the weekend is showing so nicely in this creative presentation! Lovely colors and details, especially the flower path upfront.

I've often worked with acrylic paints so I can appreciate your competition, colors, and details here. The parade that runs across your work seems to symbolize a peaceful day moving along..I enjoyed viewing this. Best wishes

Hi Ray, Looks like your park has a jagged cliffs in it. I can see bushes growing on the different levels. Looks like your imagination was in full swing! Love the way you have a row of undulating flowers on the bottom. I think that was a very nice touch. Love the colors of your blooms too.
This is definitely a park worthy of exploring. Nicely done My Friend! :o) Nancy

    Hi Nancy, Sometimes I just start painting with nothing in particular in mind and then it develops. That is what happened here. I am glad you enjoy it and thank you for your wonderful review. Ray

Hello Ray. You know I will be replaying that song in my head all day now. -Smiles-
About your painting...
You have an unusual perspective. Ideas in your head you didn t know were there, huh?
I see all kinds of possibilities but do not see the two people on the green, that I saw you mention. Are you messing with people? Haha.
At a glance I see lily pads and daisies along the edge of the pond. Possibly leaves floating on top of the water.
I know someone else saw a tree and I am flabbergasted at different individuals observations!
Have a beautiful day

    Jewell, Thank you for all your observations I am sorry you missed the two people on the green, but then again this is abstract. I was having trouble working with white ink and then I found a white marker that works so well on acrylic. I thought you found that markers worked for you on your painting too.

    That is how abstract works everyone sees it differently. I am glad you enjoyed it. By the way the woman on the green is wearing a white hat. :) Ray

Simply gorgeous three. Colors, tones, textures, and presentation couldn't be done better. You are definitely a master of your craft. I really suggest you open your own gallery. You're a hit for me. That's for sure.

A nice piece of art Ray is this this one looks like a place to have a walk amongst the trees/flowers even though its slightly abstract you can still pick out various things in this one....Brian

    Brian, Thank you for your fine review. There is no reality in this piece, it is pure abstract. Not even the two people lounging on the green. This is my version of fantasy where nothing is real even though it may appear that way.
