What a beautiful painting, I like the way you have created the suns rays with thick strokes. The deer in shadow watching and alert. The light and shadow you have created gives feeling to the artwork.

This is an exceptionally beautiful nature creation. I particularly love seeing sun rays streaming through a forest in real life and in images. The deer really adds to the scene. The light and shading is so lovely and the whole scene is wonderfully crafted. All the best in the contest Janice!

What a beautiful painting! Those rays of sunlight coming though the trees are just wonderful!
I wonder why you painted the deer looking in the opposite direction though, I feel it would have been even more powerful if he was looking at us.
A minor detail though as the overall painting is excellent - the trees, the grass, the light, are all so well painted! Very good luck in the competition!

You know I have to give this a six with that handsome buck in it-lol! This is really beautiful, i like the streams of sunlight filtering through the canopy and the way it highlights this silhouetted king of the forest. The background leaf colors are beautifully muted,adding to the misty morning feel of this scene. Very well composed and peaceful looking!

Janice this is a fine presentation of this mature buck venturing into a sun bathed clearing. The green grass anchors the whole picture. Excellent scene. Ray

Well you did very well with the sun in the branches, the deer looks majestic. I love painting in this medium, I have never attempted to paint an animal. good job.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that deer and its location. Colours, textures and tones are good. Well painted and good luck!

Comment from Glena Jessee-King


This is a beautiful painting with acrylics, especially the lights shining through the forest, the colors and rays. The ground foliage is lovely, realistic, as is the deer but I can hardly tell if its head is turned or not; otherwise, I would give a "6". If its head is turned because it is looking at the rays coming through, I need to return and give a "6". The colors of the leaves behind the trees and the trees are really lovely too.

    Thanks so much for your kind review Glena. I know it?s difficult to show which way he is looking but I wanted him to be turning to the sun.

    You are so right. And welcome. It is literally outstanding, that forest in particular. Great to review your work again; I hadn't much in a while. Glad we are fans. This one is a fine piece. What medium again. I'll return and if I have another six, I'll give it, artist friend janicep1.
