Thank you very much
Wow, this painting is absolutely breathtaking! 🌅 The way you captured the Winter Sunset on the Rideau River is incredible—the warm glow of the yellows and oranges in the sky contrasts so beautifully with the cool blues and violets in the snow and shadows. I love how the reflections on the water feel so lifelike, almost like I could step into the scene and feel the crisp winter air. The depth you’ve created with the distant island and foreground trees really draws the eye across the painting, and your layering technique shows such careful planning and artistry.
Reading your step-by-step process makes me appreciate it even more—starting with the light pencil sketch, building up the sky and river reflections, and then adding the subtle shadows and details really demonstrates your skill and patience. It’s amazing how photography inspired your composition too, yet your watercolor brings it to life in such a unique and artistic way. Ontario’s winter sunsets have never looked so enchanting! ❄️🎨
I also noticed you’re offering NFTs and prints—what a great way to share your work with the world. Anyone who sees this painting has to pause and admire it; it’s both serene and full of life. Truly inspiring!
Thank you very much. I am getting back into painting now that I’m retired and have more time.
I will post a lot more here on Steemit.com
Great job and keep it up !
I'm loving it, the paint is even more beautiful than the picture 😻
Thank you very much. I am loving Steemit these days. The best place for Artists, Photographers and Filmmakers these days
You're welcome 🤗 Yeah, I like it too, I found here a very good vibes 💓
This is one of those watercolour paintings I like. I wonder about the bright colours.
Thank you very much
Never knew you were an artist also. This is more than art, this is a creation🔥🤯
It’s been in my Bio since 2017
I earned all my Steem with my artwork, Films and Music …. For the past 10 years
I stopped posting my Art on Hive in 2021 when I started getting downvoted to zero for no reason. I sell my paintings for $1,000 and NFTs for $100 so it’s not good that they show a value of zero on Hive.
Wow
Why did they start downvoting you?
Probably because I was still posting on Steemit …
The Hive Whales threatened me and told me
I needed to sell all my Steem …
So I sold all my Steem ….
And bought TRON …
I refused to buy any Hive after they downvoted me.
I am happy I bought TRON since it is up 13,800 % since 2020
I was able to retire thanks to Steemit and TRON
See chart below ….
Such childish behaviour. I know they posted the blacklist and left many nasty comments behind on Steemit. I didn't sell my Steem and kept the Hive as well.
Lucky you with the Tron. Super cool you can retire because of Steemit and Tron. I wish you a great and above all a creative and relaxed time.
I sold all my Hive when it was
Close to $ 3 and bought Bitcoin and HBD …. I was Earning 20% APR with my HBD …. But the APR has dropped to 14% and HBD might fall to zero
Now I am selling my HBD to
Buy Canadian Dollars, Silver, Gold and Bitcoin
