Wow! You have captured so much beauty with you pallet knife. So beautiful are the many shades of blue and shading and blending of color and the texture and patterns created in your art work. Your use of contrast between light and shadows has created depth and a dynamic scene with the rushing of the water through the canyon and the moon peeking through the dark night sky. I love how you have used the dark grays and black to ground your scene. A creative and talented art work. Thanks for sharing these wonderful scenes.

This is absolutely gorgeous and a truly stunning work of art. Your mixture of colors seem to have been selected quite expertly...the various shades of blues and aquas in the water to the more darker shades creating the perfect night time sky with just enough of the shades of white emitted from the light of the moon itself creating a lovely shadow color and with that bit of light that you have shining through above your water. A dramatic canvas ...full of motion. Your colors are all complimentary throughout this entire work of art... Excellent detail on the movement of the water! The surreal colors and soft shapes blended in with the familiar landscape that you have captured in your mind and kept there all this time and being able to reproduce it years later is truly magnificent. I especially like the river and how you show it wide up front then creating its own beautiful path into the distance.. Thank you for sharing your talents....your work of art!!!

I don't know who you are , new to this site? BUT you are going to be a force to be reckoned with . This is a very compelling piece.

I was completely drawn to the three dimensional feel and that is due to your tonal ranges. The texture in the water, the hills, the sky done with a deft hand that speaks to us of an artists well honed in their craft.

Would I purchase this to hang on my wall....IN A HEARTBEAT.
