Beautiful color tones in this. The sky and water are so soothing. Great composition. With your son-in-law looking out over his land. Hope the cows were where they belonged!

Beautiful painting. Anyone would be lucky to have this on their parlor wall. Love the pink of the sunset and the reflection of the clouds in the water. The peacefulness of the scene is extraordinary! Makes me want to paint.

This is really a wonderful painting Suzanne. I am sure yous son-in-law must have been delighted with it. How did they leave New Zealand for Austraila, lol, New Zealand is so beautiful and well Australia is different :)). A nice feeling of peace settle on you when viewing this painting. Excellent details and depth. Best of luck in the contest

Great painting. Amazing color, nice contrast, and great details. Good texture, and great techniques. I like the pink tones in the sky and the mountains on background. Nice composition and excellent shading. Well done. Luck

Comment from Highfive


i like the deep perspective, and the nice pleasant sky and mountains. the soft overtones creates excellent textures that bespeak the early impresssionist work of manet, and monet. where they used the time of day to express their inter most feeling in a move to impress their ideas on canvas in bold pastel colors. believing that every minute and hour of the day affect ones emotions and feelings differently, thereby affectting the way one sees light. your painting has these high qualities, and work nicely as an artistic statement. very professionally painted. thanks for sharing

Beautifull! It looks like he is standing there counting them as he spots them. Stunning use of colour and brush strokes, love the blue mountains in the background and the sheen on the water. Excellent art work, well done and good luck!

A beautiful rural scene with mountains along the horizon a body of water in the midground Steven in the foreground overlooking his cattle in the sloping field in front of him. Created with superb & skillful brushwork, artistic choice blending & aplication of the paint to create this wonderful image.
