This is an amazing abstract..I love how it takes control as to where it would have me to focus. Leading lines that starts wide only to guide the viewer.

Beautiful and creative. Simply positive and unusual. Very nice pastel work with spring trees. I like the artist view and different shades of green leaves. Best of all times now! Great job Linda!

I love taking photos of trees from the ground looking up.
Never saw a painting with this style of POV looking at trees from their trunks to their leaves.
Fine details with lovely greens and yellows of the leaves.

A gorgeous nature scene and work of art. I love how the tree trunks draw you into this scene. What a creative and unique art work.....you have achieved a wonderful perspective with this Forrest scene. Beautiful brush strokes with gorgeous colors and blending and shading of color. Your play with light and shadows creates depth and interest in your art. A good contender for the Nature Art Contest and good luck. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

You may think me crazy, but I like to lie down with my camera to get images like this. I love looking up at big trees in a forest and showing the sky. And, if it is night time, even better. Wow. What a wonderful work of art. you have captured the trees perfectly. Nicely done. Good luck and thank you for sharing.

I like this a lot.
We have been trying to take photos that look like this. they never turn out well.
You did a nice job using all of those different colors of green.
Tree trunks done nicely.
I like how you show the sky peeking through the trees.
Nice painting, thanks for sharing.

I think this was a great idea. Many photographers like to take shots like this, but I think seeing in a painted form is unique. You created the upward perspective very well and the combination of colors in the leaves is very attractive. I think you did a nice job with the overall depth too.
