You have some amazing paintings in your gallery, Guntis. I’m pleased I came across you! This landscape has superb light and colour. As I imagine the hot world of Australia.
Adding you to watchlist.

Karin Taylor

this is a beautiful style you have guntis
Guntis Jansons replied

Thanks Karin, the style seems to be evolving slowly. Moving towards thicker paint which is fun to push around.
Nico van der ...

I can already see someone buying this being very pleased with it on their wall :) The palette of colors used is really excellent, lifts a persons mood to sit and look at it for sure.
Guntis Jansons replied

That’s a nice thought Nico. It won me a prize but I still get to keep
the painting for a while at least.

Yep this painting is going be better known by more people every year.I think it’s a famous painting-so much to learn in it for an artist and others…..........
but then again you’e rached these strospheric heights before on many paintings…...... but it’s getting more frequent lately I seem to be noticing
Guntis Jansons replied

It’s a great site as you remember Ted. I keep going back to it. It’s always inspiring.

Looks to me like you are an ‘old master’ with bold colours!!
Carole Russell

Some of your work reminds me of a Scottish painter Jim Wylie“
Love this, I think it’s the colours as much as the subject
Guntis Jansons replied

Thanks Carole. I had a brief look at Jim Wylie’s work and it’s quite good. I think I’m more a realist.
