So pretty, Love the little stream, The pond life looks busy and alive here. Lovely waterfall coming out of the pond. I can see dragonflies hovering in my imagination.

This is great with the water rushing over and frothing up as it reaches the next level Colors you have used are great and the detail is good. Another lovely artwork to enjoy viewing.

Your painting is impressive. Although, the painting is abstract, how the water flows down and splashes into the overflow looks realistic. The colors are attractive and resemble reality. The abstract is excellent composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

    Thank you Cleo so much for a fine review, it is well appreciated. When you think of it all paintings are illusions, from the most realistic to the most abstract.

    You're very welcome! :o)
    I think that all artworks are illusions, even the most famous sculptures, because they are all ideals. :o)
Comment from Way West


Absolutely beautiful Ray!! This is such a lovely toned work that feels alive with your fresh flowing waters spilling so gently in overflow. The greens and red hued plant life gives this slightly abstract presentation a nice touch of reality. This is just superb and an excellent entry for the contest, best wishes!!

I like this abstract water art for the contest. You free flow brush strokes create a fun look into nature and its beauty. The use of complimentary colors adds a lot to the composition.
Good luck in the contest!

This is a well made expressionist painting that draws one into it. The colours are well chosen and the overflow of water of the boats makes it an interesting viewing. Fine composition, soft colours and very good light makes this first rate
