This is just gorgeous Ray! I imagine myself in the desert at sunset and seeing this stunning array of colors, the desert flowers have a magical quality, and I love the way they are placed in the foreground , I like the rocky textures on the right and the desert foliage on left.
This is just a beautiful piece, very well created and presented!
Best wishes to you n this contest, it's a very unique entry. I love it!

    Pat, I tried to use a little conflict with the desert and the lushness of flowers. I am glad you enjoy this. Thank you for the wonderful review, comments and rating, and of course the wishes. Ray

The flowers are painted in a way that the viewer doesn't immediately see the flower. But the colours captures his eyes. Colours, tone and textures are appealing. Fine effort!

Hi Ray, This is an unusual entry for the flower contest bur it is super gorgeous! I know even the desert can come alive with color when the conditions are just right. Love the place.ment of your flowers The flowers have a way of leading you in so you almost don't notice the rough landscape. This image so pops with color. You so deserve 6 stars for this lovely image. Good Luck in the contest! :o) Nancy

    Nancy, thank you so much for this wonderful review. The flowers are like a welcoming committee to two conflicting statements, the dry barren desert and the lush blossoming flowers. Thanks again Nancy for the wonderful review, comments and rating it is well appreciated. Ray

Comment from ElliR


This abstract acrylic on paper artwork is visually pleasing and imaginative, capturing the essence of a desert landscape with flowers. The abstract style allows the artist to express his interpretation of the subject in a unique and creative way, with a focus on color, form, and texture rather than realistic representation. The theme of flowers in the desert is fitting for a flower artwork contest, and the painting is likely to be well-received by those interested in abstract and modern art.

    Elli thank you for this wonderful review of my realistic representation of a desert landscape with flowers. Thank you for including the definition abstract style. I am sure it will be of help for those who don't quite understand what abstract or abstract expressionism is. Ray

So very pretty, Ray! The rich dark colors of your painting attracted my eye immediately. I love the abstract flowers and their pops of the lighter color really make them stand out well. It feels exuberance and joyful!

Absolutely beautiful painting of this colorful display of flower surprisingly growing in the dry desert.
Great colors, details and such splendid presentation.

I will be in the desert in two weeks, and I hope to see the desert bloom before we leave in mid-April. Your setting sun reflecting the colors and brilliance of the desert blooms is stunning. The afterglow has lit the desert up perfectly. The hidden features of the desert may even be hiding the Roadrunner and Willey Coyote. I have seen both characters in the flesh in the Arizona Desert. I will keep looking.
