Very nice work. It reminds me in some way of Albert Bierstadt and William Turner. Don't worry, it's a compliment :D

[Thaldir]

Wonderful work Waheed, I could have sworn it was made in traditional oils.
Great palette and mood and...everything.

[MichaelZHsee]

hey mate,just wanna say that ur works are very inspring and it gets better everytime i see it:thumbsup:

[Zocsi]

Omg, this is just wonderful! It reminds my the impressionism, indeed. Althougt you've used a bit more moderate colors. But it's still lovely! As I see, you're getting better and better in your art! I'm adoring your style and technique! Keep it up! :thumbsup:

[waheednasir]

ekateina, Thaldir, MichaelZHsee and Zocsi...love your wonderful feedback...thank u so much...:). happy to see u around and your very kind comments.

good day.

[Mu]

Yes!

Yes!

Man, what a wonderful achievement! Your profound experience in both landscape studies and impressionist techniques of suggesting detail and creating interest... it all shows here and you really pulled it all together.

I really like how the outline of the rocks to the right dissolves into the background haze.
There are elements I read as subtle homages to landscape painters who I think we both love very much: Caspar David Friedrich comes to mind when I see the gloomy ruins to the right, and the sunset in combination with the naval topic somehow reminded me of William Turner.

But I would say it's not so much a quote (which would still be great), but rather a hint at roots and influences.

Only two things I could crit are:

- the forms on the left are a bit outlandish for a purely historical theme. They don't look like any piece of historical architecture I know of. That kind of puzzled me.

- I wouldn't have my ships anchor in such a narrow place, no matter how nice it looks... As a captain I'd probably get the hell outta there... :scream:

Great job, Waheed

[waheednasir]

hey hey...thank u so much Mu, for taking the time to visit and for all your kind kind words and for the input as well...:). nice to see that u like it and if this reminds u of Caspar David Friedrich and William Turner, then im honored and i really feel i did something good...:). atleast, little. and yes, we both love these great painters. its nice to see that u observed each n every area so deeply and that really puts a smile on my face...:). thank you.

i do agree with you on your opinion on the architecture, i did paint something first, that had a clear look of something from the past, but i did change it to these shapes as i find these more interesting with nice divisions. i shouldve kept those earlier ones. u are right...:). about the narrow passage. lol. yeah. though ive made those ships overlapping eachother, not side by side between the banks, i think i shouldve gone for just two of them...:).

thanks again mate. i appreciate your visit.

best wishes.

[bobtronic]

this is beautiful, would like to give you some critique but i can't find anything bad about it :)

I recently went to an exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art for Joseph Turner - this work reminds me a bit of the stuff he used to dabble in. Look it up, he was an amazing artist way ahead of his time.

Great job Waheed, 5 stars from me, it's one of my favs.

thanks a lot niva...:), i say u are a lucky person to enjoy Turner's work, infront of you, i mean actual canvas and papers, as he painted many watercolor pieces too. im aware of his work thru books and what powerful pieces he produced, stunning work.

i thank u for even mentioning his name in my thread and for all the lovely compliment, an honor for me indeed. and im glad this is one of your favorites and for the stars too...:).

best wishes.
