Wow, what deep and rich colors. a very striking picture!

The colours in the mountain are lovely. It would be nice if you could get more of a natural look.

I like the way the sun is just hitting the snow covered peaks of the mountains and the rest of the scene is in deep shadows. From an art friend on the other side of our world I say “nice painting Vidya”
Amanda on Fri, 8th Aug 2008 3:48 pm
Lovely textures and the mountain in the background gives the whole painting a pulse…………….I feel like I`ve been there, well done.

A beautiful scenic experience!

Beautiful!!!

I won’t allow myself to critique it because I have not successfully oil painted a landscape but I will say good job capturing the essence of that landscape; contrast and color. Also considering the dusk period of time.

Hi Vidya,
You have created nice textural shapes in this painting and have good clean use of color.
When I squint down at your painting through my eyes I notice that the two grassy sides along the water are very similar. In the future, maybe for a little more interesting design, vary these grassy shapes as they take bites out of the water shape, and also in the width of the grass on the right and left sides. This would eliminate the water running down the middle of the painting.
You have created a nice peaceful feeling with this painting.
Keep practicing, keep painting, and enjoy the process!
Ingrid

very beautiful! nicely done.
Wayne Cooper on Fri, 8th Aug 2008 5:24 pm
Nicely done. My only suggestion would be to lighten the centre background trees to ‘push’ them back a bit but otherwise it is very well executed. Congratulations.

Beautiful, nice use of colors
Jayne Cummins on Fri, 8th Aug 2008 7:39 pm
A very dramatic painting, you’ve captured the light beautifully on the mountains. I think the painting would however benefit from a little more light on the left hand side to correspond with the light on the mountains. Otherwise very well done. Jayne

Nice deep colors.
Soroya on Fri, 8th Aug 2008 9:25 pm
I really enjoyed the brilliance of the blues and the contrast of the dark and lighter greens of the grassy areas.
Joy McKenzie on Fri, 8th Aug 2008 11:00 pm
Absolutely brilliant I love this one ….great work….so dramatic
Juma on Fri, 8th Aug 2008 11:27 pm

very nice very dramatic

I like the way you have the sun just hitting the mountain peaks and the rest of the scene is in shadows.
Dr, Derek P. Blake on Sat, 9th Aug 2008 2:05 pm
A nice study in water and ice, a little cold for my taste. The river looks like a series of waterfalls, a little more irregularality in the river banks together with a different use of shadow and reflection might work better. The mountains are very good, you’ve caught their majesty and splendour well.
John on Sun, 10th Aug 2008 2:25 am
I like it but maybe a little lighter blue in the sky. It is bold!
Valerie Sasaki on Sun, 10th Aug 2008 5:11 am
I love the dark, rich colors, Lovely!
zubin on Sun, 10th Aug 2008 1:04 pm

Great depth too.

Vibrant Colours Vidya. Even though basically it is a beautiful painting, I feel that the stream/river and the mountain appear to be competing against each other for attention. In my humble opinion, there is also lack of aeriel perspective,i.e. the foreground and the background have the same clarity and tone, which detracts from the naturalness of the beautiful scene.
Preeti on Tue, 12th Aug 2008 2:34 pm
A very good painting…good job done vidya, i think you should take painiting seriously.
karen on Tue, 12th Aug 2008 7:17 pm
a soothing painting, very stylized, not a bad thing more important is it your personality, or somone else’s? color scheme is good, very structured, might move your water a little off center but,hey overall very much color coodinated, lines are identical, and so you have a painting to enjoy for a long time
