GOLDEN GIRL

Wonderful job JJ, this really has impact!

WoW! What a great finish to this, JJ! The gorgeous yellows and reds against the pure blue sky makes such a bold and beautiful display...perfect! What I see is a face lifted to the sun, drinking in the rays and nature's nourishment.

JJ, This is gorgeous! The center is really super and the petals are as well.   Wonderful painting.


Gorgeous! I love how you have tackled the center part and those shadows. Absolutely stunning!

Such a beautiful sunflower. it is outstanding. I love the colors and the movement in the flower.


Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! That center is wonderfully done. Of course the orange/red with the blue gives it maximum impact. Love it.


Absolutely beautiful! Sunflower are one of my favorite flowers. I love the way they follow the sun across the sky.


Nice, Nice, Nice! Such luscious reds and yellows and smack dab against that great blue sky.

FABULOUS!! Wonderful to look at on a dreary November day! Bravo!


Wowee! I love the clean-edged graphic quality to the design, and the bold color. It reminds me -- in a very good way -- of classic silkscreen posters from the 1930s.

JJ WOWIE!! Congratulations on this brilliant "sun lover" painting.

I love the luminosity and life in this painting. 

Beautiful JJ...love those vibrant colors!

Amazing.. I'm getting interested in doing florals, and this has really sparked my interest even more. Wonderful job!

 

This is excellent JJ - superb portrayal of the lighting and the petals are beautifully painted, it's magnificent!

 

Wonderful job with the petals. I really feel them going every which way, criss-crossing, falling over, pushing upward. Very nice movement and composition---love the crop. It must be quite the wall-filler at that size! I'd love to see it framed and hanging.

 

Hey JJ  WOW this is beautiful.  You've done a fabulous job in acrylic. Great lighting and movement. Fabulous.

 

Simply incredible, JJ. Wel done. This must be breathtaking in person especially at this size! You just keep getting better and better.

 

Stunning work JJ! Just love the light in it. Good luck with the comp!

 

Fabulous job Judy, I'm glad you posted the photo to show the true scale of the painting. Your exhibition should be a great success if the paintings are all like this

 

Cool piece JJ! really like the rhythm in the warm areas.

 

This is a terrific floral painting. I really like the play of light and dark in it. The green part looks very good now that you've deepened the shadows. This should do very well at the show.

 

Beautiful piece. The bold colors make it a perfect print poster.

 

Hi JJ Beautifully painted petals.. I have not painted with acrylics for a while now... Time to give it a whirl I think !

 

Absolutely beautiful!!! JJ, It's gorgeous and I love it...well done You should do very well in the art competition this weekend...

Outstanding, JJ! And I think you've titled it perfectly too!

 

Fabulous work, JJ...... Way to go!!! I've been wondering where you've been, then it was posted that you are very busy....

 

Nice shadow work JJ. The petals are lovely and so simple but complex at the same time.

 

This is worthy of an exhibition somewhere. Got anything lined up for it?

 

JJ you go girl. Absolutely beautify. Love the colors and light play throughout.

 

Fabulous finish JJ. The piece is so magnetic, it will jus catch anyone's attention in a show. Good luck :-)

 

Thanks for the update...what a bold and beautiful piece!

 

How fabulous! Great job!

 

You should be proud! Beautiful work! I love the light!

 

Yes, the stem steals the show. Perhaps it is the intensity of the green used. the blossom petals are so amazing, lovely work!. Good luck in the show.

 

Good luck JJ - it's an astounding piece -very eye-catching, so I hope it catches the Judges' eyes too

This is such impressive and beautiful work! YAY! I am so pleased to see this emerging so expertly and with such clarity and luminosity!  Well done!

 

You've taken on an ambitious project and your drawing is excellent..

 

 

AUTUMN WALK

Wow JJ....I think there is a lot of EXCELLENT stuff here! The light is just great..  I really like it! It feels like a warm, beautiful Autumn day!

 

I think you have really got some beautiful things happening here. I love the different colors in the leaves and how you've left openings for the sky to peek through. The tree trunks are well done with varying diameters and spacing, the shadows are excellent too.

 

There's lot's of excellent stuff here. You're mastery of this frustrating medium keeps growing. You've shown us how much lot's of hard work can accomplish.

 

Hi JJ,  I like it! Superb light from the horizon and I especially like how you rendered the shadow of the tree trunks and branches on the ground.

 

JJ .I think you've done a great job on this....I love the foliage on the trees , the autumn colours.......

 

I am really liking the warmth of this painting and the way you handled the shadows across the path/road. Your foliage is very well done.

 

Oh, Judy. I love it! Autumn is my favorite season by far, so this is particularly enjoyable to look at for me. Great job!

 

I say go ahead and frame it as is. It's beautiful.

 

Superb, JJ!! LOVE THIS. Such a nice job on the light and shadows.

 

JJ... this is absolutely gorgeous... You've got the light and shadows spot on...

 

Congratulations on a terrific painting.

 

JJ, looks good, hope you win a blue ribbon, is the show juried or judged?

 

Well done revisions, JJ. I especially like the second figure and the dog. I'll bet it looks great framed.

 

You've painted such a pleasant scene--I really like the dappled sunshine effect and the delicate looking trees with the leaves just about to fall off. And the rusty colors are very pretty, too.

Actually...I like whole thing (and it reminds me of the place where my mom walks her dog...)

 

such a nice work!!! You started with something excellent and now have something... how can it be more excellenter. You got a winner!.

 

JJ, lovely golden glow to this. Good luck with the competition.

 

AUTUMN HARVEST

Looking good JJ. The highlights and shadows make the pumpkin look nice and round..

 

What I think is that you are improving you painting skills a huge amount every painting you do.

 

Wow Judy .... you are still better and better. This have great intensive colors.

 

Luscious colours Judy!

 

WOOOOWWWW!!! JJ, I have to agree with Jana, every new painting you post is looking BETTER and Better. You sure do paint beautifully now. SO professional looking. This is superb. That pumpkin and the squash look so realistic. You have achieved that roundness and the highlights are GREAT.

What everyone else said are my thoughts too. It's a fantastic work of art!

 

WOW! JJ,  Your pumpkin looks like it could be picked up off the paper! You really have the shadows perfect!

 

Looking good JJ!! Very well done pumpkin and gourd...nice and colorful too!

 

I couldn't agree more - your improvement is remarkable. Gives some small hope to the rest of us dabblers.
