Celeste, the content of this painting is enough to make me happy. But your treatment of atmospheric perspective seals the deal.

Celeste, this is so very beautiful. I find myself wanting to be just sitting and enjoying this spot, drinking in these beautiful springtime colors...Just a most gorgeous painting and somehow, you always inject dreams into your painting...Perfection!

The unity in this is something I admire a lot. Tremendous! Also, OTOH, the elements are pleasing (exciting, actually). I love the bright green, and then you've countered it with grays, perspectives and masses.

You are a fine artist, Celeste!

I love the haze. Check out the haiku on this post that describes the feel of the scene: http://magicalmysticalteacher.wordpress.com/2010/06/05/haiku-bones-quietly/

It is just lovely, like all your work. I enjoyed seeing your paintings at the Broderick Gallery. We made it to the opening around 6 pm but you had already left. It is a wonderful space, and views of the river are magnificent. Take care until we meet again!

You've really captured the lush, rich green that speaks to our generous rainfall this season.
Beautiful!
