and yes you should be proud Cherie it is beautifully created, and carries the body of an emotional edge of relaxation, at the end of a strong full day ,congrats…..I would like to know how it makes you feel when you look into it…

Cherie Dirksen, 6 months ago

Thanks Tola…at the moment when I look into it I just feel relief at actually finishing it! Ha ha…but on a serious note I’ve always loved just staring into the sky, so for me, I find it relaxing and calming…I hope others do too…

Walter Strength, 6 months ago

Great composition Cherie. Stunning use of color as well. The small amount of the cold blue in the water really makes the warm sky pop. Great example of hot cold contrast.

Cherie Dirksen, 6 months ago

Thanks Walter! :0)

This is excellent Cherie. The stunning sky draws you into this picture but its the detailed foreground that shows off your talent. Wow! Must look great on your wall.
