Description Techinque: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 70x50 cm

About the painting:
As people know, I am a big fan of surrealism but, I am proud to admit, I owe my very first beginnings to Bob Ross. Well, at least when it comes to oil technique. With that said, my very first paintings, when I was 13-14 years old, were only about the nature but after some time I felt like I am missing something. That is how I started doing the surrealism, but my love for nature never really dried. Nature is the biggest artist there is, and nobody will ever be better than HER!
So, after every surrealistic paint, I do couple of paintings with nature scenes and this is one of those. However, I really wanted to make one that REALLY exists and so I came across
DMMDesign and this beautiful photography:


I do have artist's permission to use this photography as a reference. Once again, thanks for a nice work!
On my painting, you will notice some changes, of course. Some of those changes occurred unintentionally - I had couple of moments where I forgot I own a reference (I usually never have), and some changes were done to fit my own style and the final result of the painting.


Anyway, I would like to say thanks to everybody: people who are supporting me in real life with their words and helping me out to pull this all of, people who are commenting and criticizing my work on DA and other social networks, my watchers and artists who are still working hard to preserve the art in this damaged world.

Thank you! I sadly wouldn't know because I am not from USA. I usedΒ  a photography as a reference and it was taken by DMMDesign (see in description). I am sure original photographer will know !

Β Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Bravo. You did better than I imagined - I'm impressed. You took my photo and added your own touches - I'm very impressed you kept the splash marks in the river. It's wonderful work and you can paint my photos anytime you wantΒ !
