Very Good, But ...
- Lovely painting, nice colours, textures and reflection in water well done. But, in my opinion, the spaces between the trees are not convincing, especially the sky. Also I have no sensation of three dimensions in the path and background.

End of Summer
- Very nice textures of the trees and the water reflections. The limited colors shows the atmosphere of summer. I think the far background of the trees is too dark as compared with the white on the trees. There should be some light inside.

Beautiful !
- My first view of this took my breath away ! Autumn is my favourite season and you've captured the glory of colour in this. I love the way the smooth water contrasts with the textured trees and grasses.

I wish I was sitting in your painting
- Don't be to quick to think you won't be a knife painter, that painting and texture looks very professional. I feel like I can walk right into your painting, its captivating! Beautiful!

The end of summer
- The colours in this are glorious, the painting style really nice and overall a very accomplished painting, as the path is on the left hand third I think I would have curved the path to the right, but that's just my choice.

Colorful Autumn
- I agree with the "Guide" re the reflections, but find this a very interesting painting, and like the colors. Thank you for sharing.

The End of Summer
- For me there is too much of the same color in this painting, especially since that color is so bold. I would like to see some different colors in the trees and I don't understand why the water is orange. Is the sky white or is that just the way it photographed? When I look at this painting, I think "Fire".
