brilliant .. i love how this gives me a feeling of tranquility & the way you have the bright blue and the red areas balancing each other at opposite corners .. great composition and impressionist feel .. :)
Looks to be more expressionism than impressionism. But that is only my opinion. I do think if this were a Van Gogh challenge and you cropped it at the half way point and threw away the now lower half you would win a bright blue ribbon.
