Good entry for the contest - good luck. Definitely deserves to be Recognized. Love your use of colors.. And I love how the stairs disappear as they climb up the sky. Love the red rose. Thanks for sharing.

This is very nice, yep, I would climb this with a cane as stairs are stressful for me without railings lol,, love the cloud feeling with the fog on the sides. What is up there I wonder? lovely to look at and see

I like how the stairs are focused and the outside of them are blurry. I think making sure the outside looked more specific like an ocean or blurry forest would make it better. And the stairs could be a little more focused, very detailed and not so blurry.

This piece draws me in as much as it makes me want to close my eyes. I am terrified of heights and stairs. ..And yet, I desperately want to see where these go. Amazing work!

Being a proud Non Christian ( a VERY Non Christian! ) I almost never comment on presentations that mention things like 'heaven',etc. but you've been so kind and respectful towards me and towards my art work,E.K., that I felt ... compelled to comment on this fine looking image that you've presented us with here at FAR .
Led Zepplin's 'Stairway To Heaven' WAS my high school class's Prom theme song 'way back in the day',after all!
( And,this painting has a wonderfully 'Mysterious' tone that I've been enjoying since I first saw the image posted here a few days ago! )
'Good Show',my friend!

Comment from ArtistCarl


Oh, this is terrible! It immediately caused my shines to go weak. Boarder line abstract? I want to climb those stairs and am so fearful to do it. I just love that single rose, brings sting to my nose and makes my eyes water. This painting hits emotionally hard and demonstrates expert artistic composition and skillful ability to draw deep emotional involvement as well skilled technique. I do not want to see this again but will because I cannot do so. It has a great emotional draw and is simply beautiful. Reasons for my 6 star vote.

Comment from Ray Gordon


This is a wonderful concept, but all those steps? I would expect an express elevator. But then again this is a fantasy and you have done a wonderful job presenting it. When I view this I can't stop hearing "Stair way to heaven". The best of luck in the contest. Ray

    Thank you so much. Yes, an elevator would seem to be so much easier. ☺️
