The variety of colors you use are wonderful in setting the mood of this picture! More vibrant colors in the foreground, which slowly fade into subtler hues that bring out the coolness of the swampy background. Not only that, but instead of making it dark, you complement the picture with white light transforming a typical gloomy swamp into one with an aura of quiet beauty. Well done! The only thing that could be different right off the top of my mind is the left edge of the foreground tree. Where you cause the leaves to stop creates a conflicting edge with the trunk of the tree right behid it. Oh, nice touch with the fungus growing up the trunks!
Oooh, I love the look of this. I was scrolling down to read some of the comments when I saw another one of your paintings that I saw quite awhile ago (the one with the green sky, the gate, and the dark trees) and said to my boyfriend "if I had money I would buy this painting" I then pointed to the wall where I imagined it. Sadly, I still don't have money but maybe one day I love your paintings, it is definitely something I wish I was better at. I also find it interesting that I was amazed more than once while accidentally stumbling upon your artwork
