I really enjoy all the colors. I really find it extremely neat it just looks so original and calling. It's interesting how it pulls you in,as in wanting to take a better look to see what else you can make out between such beautiful inviting colors. Very unique and extremely creative.Thumbs up

    Thank you very much for this wonderful review and rating. You have picked up on the intensions of the painting, to draw you in and let you see the underlying suggestions. I am glad you enjoy it.

Your abstract artwork is interesting. All creatures [including humans] experience light and shadows, but how we perceive them is an emotional matter. For many humans and animals' dark shadows are threatening, others feel protected by them. Your painting reminds me of walking in a forest while sunlight is falling through the foliage. Your artwork is excellent composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

This is a beautiful entry for this contest, it's a wonderful example of the light and shadows and how they play together in the woods, I love the vertical lines telling my minds eye that it is indeed a wooded scene , the colors you have used are working together perfectly. This is uplifting to view as I love to walk through the woods! Very well created and presented! Very best wishes to you in this contest!

I am not so sure this is an example of lights and shadows, but more like light and dark. Still I like your painting and the fine contrasts between light and dark, and the color pallet is intriguing.

As always you have brought out such fine textures, and high lights are used well. It is funny but the more I look at this painting, the more I am convinced that I can see crowds of people between the columns of yellow.

The format and framing works well, and I think this is a well done abstract Ray. I wish you luck with the contest.

In my eyes, I see trees with the sun peeking through. Whatever your intent was, you did a good job. Good color, contrast and detail. It's not too busy as everything goes together nicely.

Wow Ray, what a wonderful painting of abstract artwork and the surprise of people gathering in the center once I open the file to see it closer.
Beautiful light and shadows, creating a wonderful depth and interest in this beautiful presentation!

The colors are balanced and very appealing to the eye. Texture is fine yet distinguished as well. I feel like I am looking into a forest of mystery. Very nice!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of some people gathering in a dense forest for some reason. Colours, textures and tones are good. Nicely painted!
