Description A little more "realistic" than some of the other Concept Art and Illustration I post here, this is another painting for the book project. For this one, instead of having a million things going on in the scene I wanted it to appear peaceful and atmospheric. I hope you like

and if there was ever a painting of mine to look at large this is the one...so please do

Phil

Oh my God. Lol.

Everything in it is amazing. The trees look like....real trees. You painted everything...right? Jeeze, I have a long ways to go until I can paint half as good as you.

I know this view from somewhere... From my visit in Germany, in Bavaria. Almost like I would be standing there now, by the lake... Amazing.

Exquisite image, but spoiled for me by the plastic swan, and poorly conceived ripples in the foreground. If they weren't there, this would be outstanding. Really lovely.

I'am so glad to have stumbled across your work,You just have boundless talent for making such beautiful pieces of work. Amazing job,I can honestly say that I wish you had more up to look at. Brilliant job once again,I like your more "realistic" style too. You blend the photo realism with the fantastical so well.

The scenery reminds me of the Hudson River School. Especially the way the moutains, the lake and the land is arranged, seems to resemble those found in their paintings. Absolutely gorgeous!

Yep! Indeed a different style than we are used to from you.
I like the atmosphere and the color pallette especially.

avyakt-angel [2006-02-05 13:24:18 +0000 UTC]

so beautiful - There is an idea that the deities that are worshipped around the world once walked the earth - and that worship is our memory of when the earth was like paradise and himan beings were completely content, so there was no struggle - I think you have captured what that time might have been like. Maybe it's a memory?

very lovely.
