Bus No 16 In Paris

I enjoyed the unique angle from which this is painted. A fair amount of skill is evident.

Bus 61 in Paris

Lovely, feel like I have been there. The soft colors and pleasant street scene makes a bus is not just transporation but an invitation to a enjoyable adventure. Yes, motion is felt.

Trams of Memories

Ever since it was posted it has stuck in my memory. I like the feel of it, the colors the angle and the composition, to me it has the feel of winter and snow, but the beautiful colors of the tram gives it life.

Bus #61 in Paris

When I saw this painting I remembered how often I find myself wanting to paint or photograph a scene from above: streets, rooftops, trees and clouds from above fascinate me. And then I saw how well executed this was: the composition and the perspective are correct, the background buildings are only suggested, so that there is nothing to distract from the enjoyment of that moment in time.

Transitions

My favourite is Transitions by Patricia Jessup. I find the colours very peaceful and the composition intriguing. My eyes keep moving around the canvas and there seems to be so much going on in the painting.

Night Commute

Because I can feel the tension driving on a freeway that is bumper to bumper like the painting and I like the cool colors like at night.

"If I May" by Migueldavid

I really like the bright colors. At first glance the layout was simple yet my eye continued to travel around the painting finding more details.

Candyland Bus

My favorite is "Candyland Bus" by Antonia.M. There is a high creativity both in composition and choice of colors. It reminds me of some striking paintings of David Hockney I admire. It is really very diifficult to get the coherence and the harmony in that kind of work. As for me, you have succeeded in it! I like too the enchanting "Horse and carriage 1700s" by Mojavevic.

Bus No. 61

I like the composition, the overhead angle and the trees. What really got me is the shadows. Great job.

Freeways at Sunset

My fav is "Freeways at Sunset" by Mojavevic; the way the scene is recognisable but abstract, the sense of movement and motion... is it water bubbles or traffic?
