Good colors. I love the gold of the land and the deep blue sky. The tree just completes the picture. Did you use digital at all on here?
The sky is awesome!

Comment from Trajan
Nice evening values and color range. I like the tree as a mostly solid object framed by the late afternoon/early evening sky.
The clearly delineated horizon line going to black adds a certain drama to the piece.
Beautiful!

I always enjoy your work. The sky in this is so detailed and lifelike. The silhouetted tree is very well done. Nice to view and colors are very good. Well done and thank you for sharing.

A lovely piece composed nicely of this silhouetted tree as the centrepoint, with lovely tones of blue making up the evening sky but with clouds below that contrast well, and showing the landscape and yellow land below, which creates great perspective and depth - a really nice piece, good work :)

The lone silohuette Joshua Tree set with a fabulous blue sky and golden Yellow horizon.
Love the silky smooth background and the texture of the tree limbs.
Nice work SS ;)

A virtual 6 rating for drama, clarity, charm, color & lighting!

Fantabulous creation with crisp & sharp delineating outlines.

Subtle illumination with subdued colors.

Thanks for sharing...

I always want more of information about HOW you do such glorious works. You keep that technique a secret I do believe. Wonderful mix of colors that I would never have really thought to place them in this specific order. The sky is such a focal point for the eye and it pulls the viewer into the scene. That bright yellow is wonderful. The dark tree just adds more depth and layers to the entire piece. Truly I have learned something from this . Well done.

It is just a matter of patience, perseverance. I started this in 2015 and it has taken me nearly 2 years to reach this level.(self taught/ autodidact I am ) I do the basic painting in watercolours or acrylics (oils take too long a time) and I use many filters to add colour, textures, light and shadows. Yes. I have a heightend sense of colour (not boasting:). Since I have a lot of time at my disposal, I keep on playing around with colours and forms.
Thanks very much for the lovely words. The high rating is humbling!

You are my first 6* this week my friend. This is just stunning to say the least. Incredible initial impact. The silhouette of he tree and that beautiful blue sky hold the viewers attention indefinitely. I love it. I like the way you have given it more light on the right side slowly fading into to darker skies and landscape on the left. Great technique in guiding the viewer's eye in and across the terrain. Love it.

This is a very cool photo. I love the colors in the back ground and the tree in the front ground. I like to do the same kind of art sometimes too. Great job.
