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!
