I too enjoy using different things to create paintings. one of my favorites is the back of a plastic spoon. Impressionism is my favorite style and I really like your use of colors. Great job with perspective and depth. The reflections are very nice. Really nice overall piece.

What a creative approach to paint this picture. I like colors selection that is relaxing our senses in this time of uncertainty. I hope that will be free again soon, maybe warm weather will help. In the meantime we will enjoy your soothing painting.

Nice landscape. I like the colors you used. The reflections in the water along with the clouds and green bushes are eye catching. Great depth and detail in your work. Great job

A beautiful rendition of a walk along the river. Even if it is difficult to get out and about we can be creative and use our time and imagination. You have done that Suzanne in the lovely lush green side walk and reflections in the blue water matching the sky. I really like the mauve coloured background trees peeping above the green trees. Beautifully created Suzanne.

What a beautiful image Suzanne it brings back memories of our visit to UK and the canals there. The colors are blended nicely with good reflections along the waterway. The rate of virus cases appears to have leveled off here and we are staying home as much as possible. Hope you and your loved ones are keeping safe.

    Many thanks, Mary, for your lovely review. Yes, we're ok at the moment, thank you. We have a video group family chat two or three times a week and my friends and I have a video chat every day. Also, my three grown up kids ring me every day. Hope you are keeping well and safe. Suzanne

Cool,Suzanne!
That's a fine looking painting,my friend!
It reminds me of the often flooded streams like the Moseskill or Dead Creek that flow into the Hudson River south of town!
'Good Show',my friend!

Suzanne,
A beautiful & very peaceful riverside scene in Summer the lush. Vegetation growing on the river banks & the clear blue sky above not reflected on the glistening surface of the river . The multitude of green s in the rushes,reeds & trees give the scene an interesting,g very peaceful atmosphere. Created by your Artist's eye for composition very skilful use of the palette knife & a toothpick. Beautiful choice blending & application of your colours in bringing this scene to life..O can hear the birds singing in the trees & the movement of fish as they come to the surface..
Susan

This is a beautiful and flawless painting. The landscape is Intriguing us with its serenity and harmony of colors. I like how the river lead our eyes to the background. The reflections in its waters are especially interesting. The touch of impressionism, shown in light and controlled brush strokes, is alluring. The perspective and proportions are exact. The landscape is expertly composed and framed.

A beautiful composition of this river walk which as you say is a gentle reminder of what we are all missing during this torrid time.Your palette is superbly mixed and your paint applied beautifully with tools that are in my opinion fantastic to achieve such great pieces as you have done here..a well deserved 6 in my opinion

A really beautiful scene created here. I like your material and tools. It has a fresh impressionistic quality and gives a realistic feeling at the same time. There is depth and texture. The colour pallet is exciting yet includes nature's natural. Overall.. very well done.
