A universe within a universe...this is the effect it has on me. wonderful visionary experience. The black to blue to marbleized pink with a smidgen of white. Nicely balanced. The tree in center focus is an added focal point. It makes me think on "endless possibilities" Can hang on a wall nicely!

Beautiful work.
It evokes the feeling of being under the night sky with a warm desert breeze.
I can actually smell the scent in the air.
The mood and color is fabulous and makes one reflect on our place in the universe and the vastness of space. We are all "star stuff" as Carl Sagen once famously said.

Dramatic presentation.

Centered framing.

Soft silhouette with effective use of negative space...

Impressive mixed media rendition.
Excellent colors & textures. Interesting modification.

Great lighting & framing. Thanks for sharing!

The colors in this are very nice and I like the lone tree reflecting in the water. The sky looks like the galaxy. The light is very attractive and the dark vignette of the sky reflecting into the water is nice too.

This is a beautiful work of art! I love the beautiful shades of purple and blue. The lone tree and the sky reflected in the water is wonderful. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Skye_Rosenthal1


Everything about this image is absolutely fantastic and eye-catching. The colour palette, for one. The purple and blue blend perfectly together giving the space nebula look. I like the reflection too because, in my opinion, it symbolizes the concept of introspection. I see this as symbolizing what we are, what we were, and what we become in our lives. Overall great work. I enjoy look at this.

Beautiful! I would love to know what you began with before your used the mixed media. Because you have definitely brought this to life with the lights from the galaxies reflecting in the mirror like water. Your position of your shoreline is perfect as is your size and placement of your solo tree..except that it does have it's reflection. All edits artistically chosen and accomplished to create a lovely image to view. It is very real. Thanks for sharing!

    I painted the tree , reflections and the shoreline in black on white paper. I painted the sky and water in simple washes. Then I put the image through several layers to darken the colours, added the stars and darkened the edges. I appreciate your comments. Thank you so much for your support. Glad you liked it.

This would be so amazing as a Black Light poster! Nice work of color and darkness! I had to look really close to make sure it was not a photograph. Very well done
