Like a wonderful impressionistic painting. Outstanding work.

I like the result. It's very cold, especially with the tree reflected in that icy water! A terrific piece.

It took me several minutes to understand what I was seeing. Your vision and technique is outstanding.

So very enjoyable, Nikolay!

I like this work nikolay. I have a new computer and am able to comment again. I missed you all Hugs for all day DiDI, xx

Congrats on the new machine, Di! Great hearing from you!

You are excellent at the photo manipulation, love it.

How you combine photos with traditional painting always dazzles me: My manipulations are so digital; your are like you passed it through an oil painting, like you could actually use an oil painting as a 'filter'. The snow/ice here dominates the piece; it's like a huge iced dessert. And the trees grow out of it like a lineup of broadway dancers---they tilt to the right and left, like a chorus line. (Some are reflected for extra depth.) And the gray stuff on the bottom is very rich, with golds! As for your title---it brings us to the top, with that bold 'shout' of blue: Which makes the entire image. Terrific, very musical, and very visceral. As jendellas says, you are excellent at this. I love it too.

Thank you for commenting, Mark. I may repeeat myself but you have a wonderful ability of find in my works what I do not see. As for painting, it is virtual painting with virtual brushes done in Corel Painter, which is designed for such things, and a Wacom tablet. I do on a bleak photo image clone. Of course, I add something of my own, depending on how I feel. I am so glad you like this one.

Charming & haunting at the same time.
