Artist's Comments

another painting from the "chapada dos veadeiros" national park. the park is in a very dry place, and its vegetation is very characteristic because of that, itīs a desert-like vegetation, and it is very beautiful. but when you get near the water things start to change.. the closer you get to a stream, the thicker the vegetation gets, and more exuberant, and this is what we see in this painting.

soft pastel on paper - 2003

I really enjoy the mix of crisp and blurred lines.

My favorite thing about this is probably the texture you've created with it.

Very nice :p

You are letting yourself more and more loose that is great. I am happy to see free strokes around, colouurs are free. Very impressionistic piece. You have put a lot of sentiment in this painting. I am happy to watch yo grow as an artist. This is great keep it up.

mmm... I'm not quite sure if I like it... it seems a little bit disconnected, like some parts don't belong here. I don't know if the colours or the kinda different technique is the problem, but I can see it mostly on the lower left side, where the rocks are. the tree that is closest is a bit weird too, especially the bottom of it, which is white. I guess it was the light you got there... mmm...

Looks good overall, and I like the stylization of the scenery. It looks kinda dreamy in a sense. The attention to detail really shines, particularly with the rocks in the water. Ah yes, that water is marvelous as well.

The light logic of some parts seem a bit inconsistent. For instance, the branches in the lower left have a lot of highlighting with narrow shadow. The tree right above it has highlighting that suggests a completely different lightsource. The rocks at least maintain consistency.

I don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing, but the river looks a bit twisted. It's good because it adds a surreal sense to the landscape, twisting it in a way that adds character to the environment. However, it could be bad because it breaks the realism of a painting that is supposed to carry a realistic grasp with it.

I note some strokes on the right side that seem to try to carry the same look of foliage as is used on the left side. However, they don't seem apparent enough. Their placement, first off, looks very uniform, like wallpaper. The strokes probably need to be elongated, too, to add a "weeping" effect to the bushes. The strokes on the left side flow in accordance with one another, yet the ones on the far right don't overlap, and aren't that diverse.

It's an old painting. I don't want you to dust it off and refine it. Just some things to think about for the future, and nothing more than surface observations culminated from an initial reaction to first seeing it. I really like this, and feel my watchers are entitled to see it as well. +Fav.
