Jurassic Sunrise

A pristine time in our history

The colors of your imaginary sunrise are truly lovely and are doing this abstract more than anything. They are glowing, and is also giving this glow to the landscape.

I especially like how the landscape is dividing the painting in a diagonal way, and of course, and as always, it is great textures to be seen.

I also like the limited color pallet and your great use of the pallet knife.

The panorama format is perfect, and it is a very fine flow and balance in the composition. I think this is a truly and well done painting Ray.

Great colours used. Love the effect. I see the dinosaur in the distance and few other animals. I see what looks to be a waterfall.

The colours warm and comforting. You have done a spectacular job with this piece my friend.

I think I can make out outlines of Dinosaurs against the setting sun! And some giant-sized butterflies in the foreground.I have seen the Jurassic park series many times over. thanks to Netflix. They never fail to fascinate me. I like your take on it. Good effort!

I was so drawn to this and when I read the title I immediately imagined what our planet would have looked like in a pristine state. Beautifully imagined and stunning colours!

The Jurassic-the time of the truly gigantic Titanosaurids- was a wonderful time in the Planet's pre-history and I'm enjoying both the Look and the Feel of this wonderful Abstract creation that you've presented us with that celebrates that long ago period!

Comment from Way West


This is beautiful Ray! The tropical colors with the bright reflection in the clouds reminds me of a photograph that has been lovingly created. The leafs and the textures are well done and this is very appealing with a fine mix of realism and abstract tones. Thank you for sharing!

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of a lively prehistoric landscape. Reckon there a number of animals and birds in there too. Colours, textures and tones are good.
Well painted!
