A new favorite!! Have you thought about doing it in fall and spring, too? You do such fabulous fall colors; it would be awesome! Thanks for all your hard work; you give me something new to look forward all the time! <3

Absolutely amazing! The lighting and shadow effects just blow my mind!

WOW! New favorite of all time. Just stunning.

Great work! It reminds me of Star Wars. This could be part of an old Jedi Temple on Yavin 4.

Remember what you did last christmas with those lights, it was like a grotto... could that be done to this for a christmas wallpaper?

Really like this piece, would love to see a 3840x1200 version.

The "Highland Spring" of 2013!



This is amazing Ryan, Nice work.

My spontanous reaction to this one was WOW!

The atmosphere it captures is incredible.

Your work is always amazing, but this is one of the best I have ever seen. Absolutely beautiful. I would love to see this as a night scene, as well. Your work with glowing flowers always blows me away, and I could see this one also being truly stunning with that as well. Certainly a 10/10 either way, though.

Already one of my favorites!

This is gorgeous, and my only complaint is the out-of-focus pillar on the right because it just looks fake to me. I don't know if that's because of the blurriness or not.

So beautiful. How about a rain shower? I actually first thought it was a rain fall, not sun streams, and I would love to see this with a rain element.

This picture actually made we start tearing up when I saw it on the front of your page, it is amazing, I love it so much!

I'm drawn in by the juxtaposition of color and gray, light and dark, natural and unnatural. Most of your outdoor scenes have a way of suggesting things that are hidden and stories about them, but this one dials that all the way up. What must the rest of the building look like? What does the rest of the forest look like? Is the building abandoned or neglected, or did the caretakers intend for the building and forest to intertwine like that? As soon as the questions occur to me my brain starts permuting all the possible answers it can think of. I find it creatively inspiring.

I like this. Both with and without the flowers like in the WIP version.:)

Love this piece. If I could ask for one thing... it would be slightly less light on the path, so that the vines and stones are a little more visible. Still though, breathtaking. I renewed my membership because of this one. The abstracts don't really do it for me. This stuff does.

Tranquil, harmonious feeling to this one. Can't wait for the final version.

Really lovely scene. I look forward to the autumn version! I third the suggestion of an "after rain" version with soft light.

(I wonder what's on the other side of that high wall...)

Ryan, you never cease to amaze. It looks like we all received a gift for your birthday, as well! Love it, thank you.

definitely waiting for the multi screen treatment

Ryan I know you are going to do a fall version of this right? The foliage is gone from overhead, more light shines in, lights up the pathway and wall allowing for more detail. The trees just off to the right can carry some brilliant autumn colors. Just a sugestion ;)

This piece is beautiful, Ryan. As others have mentioned, it reminds me of some of your earlier works. I really enjoy the smoothness of the scene, and can't wait to see the multiscreen renders. Also, I second Jonathan's idea of a version right after a rain.



Thanks again for your outstanding artwork; keeps me going throughout the week.

I think a version just after a rain might look good too. Just a thought

Love this one, reminds me of a ruined garden I visited in Brazil once... I'll be ordering a canvas as soon as it pops up on Zazzle!!

This is one of your best works so far, very reminiscent of your 2006-ish work. Amazing.

Beautiful picture. Looks like it might be leading to or from some vine covered ruins.

... and in the mind. This immediately made me think of Satori (the 2003 original). Same mood, just perfect.

(The 1600 x 900 render appears to be messed up, however.)

Love it--another great scene. It looks like it could be in Rivendell.

I would love to be walking down this path. It feels ancient and peaceful. Love it!
