Having fun and doing it for yourself is something that most people seem to forget. Keep it up. Good cheeerful colours. Learn to optimize your images then you can post a larger image with fewer pixels.

Very nicely done - mastering photoshop is not easy, but you seem to have the talent for it. I like the colors and how you have gotten an almost pastel chalk-like appearance to your brush strokes. Very pretty. Little bit on the small side though.

I love the tropics. They are my favorite. Nice colors that are used. The sailboat off to the side is nice. I don't always like things centered. Nice job on Photoshop

I guess it must have warmed you up because it certainly makes me want to go there. Great use of color in the sky particularly. Beautiful effect!

This is really beautiful. I am quite envious of those that can draw, paint, sculpt, etc. All I can do is take photographs. The colors and the composition are right on. You have done wonderful work. Maybe you should think about selling!!

I am at a later time...thinking of selling. I am in limbo right now, getting ready to move, and so for now am only exhibiting. thank you for your kindness

Comment from PhotoMama
I can feel the heat and hear the water lapping up against the shore.
This is so beautiful.
I love the many different colors you used in the sky, water and the trees.
Creating wonderful contrasts.

Comment from kuma
love your ues of primary colors my only comment is maybe a little red in the trees berrys or something would set the framing up a bit more and introduce the other primary color to enhance color of the overall effect, (only a little red) other wise I love it.

Comment from whiterose
I love how the colors are vibrant and warm, but still manage to keep a calming atmosphere to them. The water and shoreline, in particular, and very well-painted. The boat seems a little unrefined, however.

none of the painting is refined, it is a "impression" style painting (computer)
thank you for your comment
