I love the (perhaps) Almond blossom, and the llama so reverently at prayer, and what an amazing contrast. The tree could almost have been pruned to be perfect, and the llama is so 'still'. Thanks for this wonderful vision. Best wishes.

Comment from Richard
Very Nice shot. The composition is perfect. A very meditative piece. The branch and the off center opening are wonderful. Keep it up.

i find this painting to be quite breathtaking in an overtly zen way. it is calming, both in design and in the obvious ability that is displayed through the handling of the oil paint. lovely and moving.

Comment from S.C.Cobb
I like this piece. It is quiet and there is just something about this monk(?) facing the wall. I really wish that this could be larger, I would definately give it a 5 if it were. The colors of the tree and mountain are even more tranquil than the Monk himself. Good work!

Comment from Papa
Dramatic. Good contrast, shading and perspective and depth. Captures a stillness and quiet. Texture appears somewhat flat, at least on screen.

Yes, I think it looks a little flat because I saved the image as a jpeg file - it tends to do that. I believe the original painting doesn't have that defect.
