This is an incredible, eye catching piece! The colours are gorgeous and blend together well without being overpowering. I admire the sense of perspective and depth you have achieved. This is the kind of work I would love to see on my wall, and the kind of work I wish I could create!

My only comment would be that with the strong diagonal lines drawing the eye towards the structure in the background, it is my opinion (as worthless as it may be) that the sketchy pencil? lines look slightly out of place. The lines are a little distracting because the structure is the main focal point. I think maybe if the lines were done in watercolour (as delicately as you have already depicted them) it may give the building a more finished look. Though I definitely like they way your lines and colouring are pale and delicate, it really gives the impression of distance.

Lastly I must talk about your trees! They are my favourite part of the piece. The colours are so lovely. The way you have suggested individual leaves is truly gorgeous. I really could stare at your painting all day. It is so very beautiful. I look forward to seeing more of your works <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>
