I would add to the already existing critique (which is spot on). Here the direction of strokes have been placed well. The horizon properly uses horizontal strokes although they are smoothly bent slightly into downward hanging bows. The slight downward slope makes the strokes fall gently and seamlessly into the horizon line.

The grass strokes are more upwards (straight) in the center but the angle decreases as we go to the sides, especially the right part, where the tallest grasses are. This creates a wide, natural "V" shape of the foreground and makes the flowers in front distinguished from the background, giving the flowers front row & center, but also allowing the greater space of the background a deep depth, as it descends towards the horizon. Soon the flowers will sleep, but not yet. The effect of all of this is to give us a multiple layers not just of colors, but of flowers, grasses behind them, then a blue-yellow-deep-red sunset in order from top to bottom.

What do you think?

Lovely, unfortunately the only word our language that can express the beauty of your piece. Even then it loses us when we gaze upon it as words can never express the complete beauty of a true masterpiece. A breath of fresh air in a world full of artists trying to add minute details, this piece stands in wonderful contrast to them. Reminding us no matter how much detail we put in nothing can replace the old methods of scraping and painting. The emotion of each color mixing and blending in your piece is more than enough to put real sunsets to shame. Each flower standing brightly in the late evening glow. Orchids rising in between in soft blues and lavenders of the scarlet and gold tulips boldly in the wind. Each blade of long grass swaying in the breeze. Carefully framing the sky and its passionate crimson. The horizon battles with itself a civil war of elegant beauty in a deadly dance to the edges of the canvas. Providing the same balance the wild flowers hold with little difficulty. This fantastical array of colors takes us on a tumultuous trip and leaves us breathless in amazement.
