This is beautiful - I love the layers of hills and mountains.

Very expressive brushstrokes - great job!

Nice painting. Very similar in feel to The Church except seasonal. I like these densely packed cityscapes with their roofs and walls creating a cubist space of angles and planes. I also enjoy the naturalistic use of color. No one color is clamoring for attention so you feel the impact of how you saw the scene.

Nice, broad strokes add a lot to the final outcome. And like Stephen said, the colours are not to strong, and let me focus more on the houses and mountains.

Здравейте Галина, аз наистина харесвам тази картина, тъй като това е колоритен, наистина добри.
Надявам се, че ми е разбираемо превод на български език.
Здравейте видим скоро!!!

Please stop by my plein air painter blog, I gave you an award.

Galya said...

Thanks Beverly, and Deborah and Steven! In these pieces I didn`t work in thick layers and the paintings were made "a la prima". I tried to make the feeling as expressive as mine impasto works.

Thanks Abhishek and Benjaminlois for joining all friends.

Mariano and Carolann and Gianlicio, I shall carry on following your blogs with interest as well, thanks a lot!

Well, Trevor, your opinion as you know, is very important for me.Thank you.

And thanks for the the award, Steven. I respect your work and apreciate your admiration and deep understanding of my paintings.

You seem to be moving away from Van Gogh towards Cezanne. I'm not sure you have found your own voice yet. Maybe time to think outside the box?

Hello Galina Nikolova, Thank you for your concern and support for my blog, I like your paintings, I hope our communication and the exchange of many, I wish you Happiness! Michael

Galya said...

Thanks Michael for visiting again, I hope that I shall continue enjoying your works too.

Thanks Ian for putting me in such good company. Experienced painter would feel the diferences between my way of painting and the way these great artists work.
If you live within your painting, it is never possible to compare others. That`s why I don`t feel such necessity as well.
Regards
