Hi Ray, I'm assuming you have different thicknesses of clouds up there. You have a light edge that moves into darker thicker clouds. Love the burst of radial sunlight! I also like your landscape and the way the water goes around the bend. I imagine the green waters to be part reflection and plants beneath the surface. Very interesting view! I enjoyed! :o) Nancy

I try very hard to see what you are trying to show Ray! I know that's important to you and I want you to know I saw it!
There are times when my mind is a total blank. I don't review then because it would be unfair to you! Glad I saw what your imagination wanted to create! :o) Nancy

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
A breathtaking play of coloursâ€"this sunset painting balances abstraction with tradition so gracefully. The natural hues flow with warmth, yet the abstract side gives it a unique, modern touch. Truly a one-of-a-kind creation that celebrates both art and nature. This deserves a six. Regretfully, I have run out of them quite fast. ;( ;(:(

Great Initial and visual impact. Excellent creativity and presentation. Excellent colors and harmony. Very good center of interest and storytelling ability. Excellent highlight and shadow work. Great technique and high technical excellence. One small suggestion would be to put your horizon line down to about the one third mark at the bottom for a better composition.
Outstanding work my friend and a very enjoyable view. Thanks for sharing!

Paul, thank you for your in depth review and wonderful comments. I understand your comment about 1/3 and I tried to crop it that way but I felt That I would loose too much of of the water feature. But I do thank you for help in that matter and I will remember that for the future. Ray

Comment from allanoak
This is so cool, it just makes me feel so relaxed. Who does not like a sunset over a spectacular natural setting as this march. The cloud shape and the sun relfection seal the deal for me. The blue/orange complementary colors don't hurt either! Nice.

Comment from Jewell McChesney
I love what a bit of white does for a water painting! This is glorious. At first glance I thought it was a photograph. But saw the details with gel pen after I pulled it closer. (I'm having eye sight problems)
Those white pens are a must have!
Great work, Ray.

Jewell thank you for your wonderful review, rating and compliments. I a so happy you could see this one . when I use the gel pen is is like adding light to the painting and if you wipe it quickly it gives a soft glow. If you make a mistake You can use a damp brush and the ink comes right up until it cures which takes a couple of days. Very versatile. Size 08 works very well. I am so sorry you are having trouble with your eyes, maybe that's why you missed the ghost but your eyes are very important. Thank you again. Ray

Comment from ArtistCarl
Your touch of realism to this abstract really does justice to this work of art. I really enjoy seeing essentially two pictures within one. It causes my eyes to bounce up and down thereby giving the painting a sense of looking at a fore real strange and beautiful landscape through a window. And I think your choices of colors, shapes and subdued tones are just excellent. Reasons for my six-star rating.
