An enchanting scene, very beautiful. The variance in colours adds a lot to the piece, with the touches of red and the yellow of the flowers directly contrasting the blue of water. I love the clouds in the sky- they are not the heavy white clouds seen so often in paintings but more the subtle clouds often found on a clear summer day. Compositionally, I found that the focal point was too centred to add much interest to the piece. The trees on either side as well as the shore of the water on either side had too much of a framing effect that, coupled with the centred focus, made the composition a bit boring to the eye. I do however love the detail put into the plans and rocks both across the water and on the shore, and the details in all the small sticks and reeds makes this a very realistic-seeming painting. Well done!
This is such a nice painting! I don't think that the title is appropriate, because it makes me think about my home Russia, not some tropical forest. This is so nostalgic....
