Love that purple

 

[snoball]

Lovely. The purple gives it a haunting atmosphere.

I LOVE a purple sky. Yum!! The purple and green are among my favorite combinations. Love your funky little distortions, and those spreading, ominous tree branch shadows.

A gem!

i am a bit colorblind, so not sure if the sky looks blue or purple . either way, terrific painting!

A cool and powerful value work in secondary color with some tinges of yellow. I wouldn’t mess with the sky unless maybe a wee bit less chroma. IMO, If you change the sky to a more primary blue the rest would need to change as well.

Trier, great to see you back here! Another good one: love the bluish/purplish atmosphere and the way the trees and their shadows dissect the whole piece into compartments.

Thanks for the valued feedback.
According to a humourous comment by Bongo, I am a member of the 'Church Of High Chroma', but I can see what you mean about the sky.

Thanks a million, old friend !

I appreciate your "compartments" analysis, I never thought of it that way.

I took a quick look at some of your latest posts that I missed and can see that you are still going great guns !

Trier, lovely work, I like the purple.

 

[Donna T]

There's much to love about this one: composition, colors, mood ... it's really special!

 

[Arnie]

Like all the purple and mood. Inviting composition, want to go inside to explore.
