A beautiful painting. Love the colors, very nice shading, great illumination and great textures, like very nice reflections and excellent frame. Great job.

As always, such technique and style. Great detail on the trees. Excellent reflection on the water. Like the composition with the bridge in the background

10 tripp stars,,a lush melody of enchantment on a sea of greens and blues it has form and balance and all of the little details blend into near perfection,,this is muted in color from your usual style but i enjoy this medium just as well,,fantastic paint my friend.thanks for sharing.

Comment from Reganato
visually pleasing piece...nice painting of such a scenic landscape with subtle color transitions in the water and beautiful palm trees all around...the sky is soft and the foliage is nicely rendered...well balanced and proportioned on the canvas...well done and thanks for sharing...ps, what was the reason to revive this one???

Comment from Snopaw
What a beautiful landscape Suzanne :) Sad story about the gardens being ripped up before the wedding, but at least there is this memory. They should have you paint them into this scene, lol. Lovely work!

Comment from Sange
Lovely view and such beautiful details Suzanne!
This reminds me of some of the places we visit to shoot. There is a place called the Bonnet house which this reminds me of.
Love the water, the trees and the aquatic flowers and plants.
Nice work!

Thank you, Doris, for your very nice review. It is a really lovely place. It was still lovely when my daughter got married there even though a cyclone had ripped through about 3 weeks earlier! Suzanne

Comment from Tony B
What a calming work of art, the colors are so soothing and nicely muted to convey a soft, approachable feeling. Very nice color and reflection of the sky in the water, well done.
