Night Vision ACEO

[idcrisis55]

This is my first posting of an image in the Miniature Forum and would appreciate your comments/critique. It 2.5 x 3.5 inches on Fabriano Hot Press paper using artist grade paints. This is strictly an imagination painting and I am wondering if something small is needed on the viewer's right for balance as well as whether the background works?

Hi and Good Morning Ann! So glad I dropped in here and found you! This is lovely - watercolors I presume? I will leave it for others to critique the composition as I am not knowledgeable enough to do so! I do know I like it as is!

Hi Barbara, how have you been doing? I've seen some of the things you have been working on in the Acrylics Forum, if I'm remembering right :). Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate it.

The background works! If you do decide to add anything, try it out first either on screen or with a paper cut-out. You don't want to spoil this little beauty.

Thanks Sonia, I appreciate your taking the time to look and comment :)

Ann:
The background is beautiful! This painting is a winner with excellent color.
As to the right foreground, I'd say why not put a rock there with snow on it... but then again why?!!! It's great as is!!! :clap: :clap:

I feel that if you add anything else to it, it would pull the eye away from that wonderful tree. My eyes enjoy resting on that tree. Lovely.

THis is a beautiful scene. Love the fluid look. Is this your Christmas card?

[Deb Leger]

Ann, you know how much I love this one!!! Those shadows in the foreground are gorgeous and your background, while being very different from your usual style, is awesome! That tree is to die for.

:clap: :clap: :clap:

Marilyn, thank you. I hadn't thought about it being used for a Christmas card so thanks for that idea :)
