I don't know what it is about your art, but it has a tendency to be pleasant, yet deep and emotionally dark. For example, the nature scenes are beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Yet, the gray hands and reaching for something unseen; and the eyes are watching the viewer of the piece. It is almost like the eyes are forcing a response from me. Amazingly well done. I hope this did justice to your piece. Sometimes I have a hard time with describing pieces like this because so many emotions tumble around in my head.

:heart:Thank you for your in depth response. The eyes and hands add a touch of personification to the ambient scene, it does solicit a more direct emotional dialog. I am very glad that you picked up on that psychological aspect. I always wonder if the seduction of the pleasant permits the content to be passed by...

subdued and subtle...and effective.

Wasn't sure about this, but I subdued the lush green because it overpowered the root bridge concept, glad you deem it effective.
