This is gorgeous! I love the stream in the Everglades and the way the banks are lined with colorful flowers , love the trees there on the right and the way you show the fog in the air,
This is so well created with such amazing attention to the details , awesome show of the light and shadows.
Well presented ! Beautiful work Maureen!

Oh Maureen, I'll be beginning to recognize your work before seeing your name. Here's another lovely image that you have created with pastels.
I love the roughness of the water and the details of the flowers. The muted background is also a great touch. Such a wonderful job!

A beautiful scene of flowers and a stream. A lovely view of flowers on the banks of a clear stream flowing into the mist. A very mystical submission here.

Hi Maureen, Love the way you set up the banks of the stream with the beautiful flowers. The scene is breathtaking!I'd love to be in an inner tube and just float down this lovely serene highway. Love the arrangement of flowers, detail and awesome view! :o) Nancy

It is a truly beautiful landscape you have pictured here, and the painting has an almost dream like atmosphere. The vibrant flowers are doing this scene more than anything and are giving the painting a great visual impact.

I like the color pallet and the fine textures you have brought out, and also the excellent use of high lights.

The tall format works well and the placement of the rives creates such fine leading lines. The bushes on each side work as a nice framing and it is a fine balance in the composition. I think this is a lovely and well done pastel Maureen.

Such a lovely scene with this body of water and blossoming colorful flowers that made me longed for the coming Spring time. I also like how you have lead our eyes to the farthest end with fading shades of yellow blossoms. Excellent choice of contrasting colors .The elements of your composition are well-defined and scene is realistic. The vertical orientation fits well. A tranquil piece.
