Great artwork of this large cross as it is being surrounded by green grasses and tiny flowers.
Beautiful detail and colors and a perfect contest entry! Best of luck!

Comment from ABG Photography


Ray, this is a very beautiful ethereal "peace" of artwork.
I love the little bit of reflection that we can see in the bottom. It helps to give the piece depth and interest, which it already has plenty of. The greenery is very lush and plentiful, and the cross really looks like a well weathered piece of wood. I love the glow of the sunlight that you have expertly created. It adds warmth and sets the tone for the viewer.

Light and shadow blend in these artworks, demonstrating that even new ideas often build upon old, trusted traditions. The work shows strong imagination and confident use of the brush. Bravo! Well done!

This is a beautiful entry for this contest. I like the simplicity of this piece, the cross immediately draws the viewer in , it symbolizes the sacrifice of Jesus. I like that you show it in water with just a partial reflection.i love the greenery behind it and the way you show the light . Awesome work to show the texture and paint on the wooden cross.
Well arranged and presented!
Very best wishes to you in this contest!
