Good morning Ruud.
Great changes you made. I love the idea of reflection. Complete with coffeeshop.
I have no idea what is yours in the picture and what has been captured in the street. I believe you created the reflection yourself because the houses are standing in water.
I get some mood of nightlife-strips.
Have a nice day!

Creative work Ruud - nicely done and well presented. So sharp and bright and the pastel colours just make it all jump out. TFS, Sam

Very interesting view. Van Gogh is my absolute favourite. Nice water reflection effect in the front. I don't mind the frame. The blue or purple in the photo would have worked nicely as well.

A pretty image of our city, Ruud, nice done and as Marleen already mentioned, looks like someone has visited the coffeeshop already..., funny !
Good PP-work, also with the reflections.

Hi Ruud,

Nice piece of art work. Far better then just a tourist picture. This is realy a class A+++ piece.

Well done,

Hendrik

PS: Maybe the inside frame is too much.

Wow, very good PP work Ruud. It looks so good, and I imagine the buildings on their own would look great any way. Very impressive.

• [2005-09-17 9:13]

Wow, this is really well done, Ruud. I know Amsterdam really well for having visiting at least 4 times and I do recognize the beautiful architecture but this also provides what looks like a neat reflection in the water. I really like the colours you achieved here. Well done!

this is a fantastic piece of artwork presented in a fantatstic manner. The coloring of this piece is gorgeous. I love it for it reminds me of working with charcoal and pastels or even ink drawings with colored pencil. The reflection is beutiful in the way these buildings are distored. Excellent work, very excellent.....
Frame is great by me!
I want this as a fav....need to go make a list....my regualar fav's are all used up.
So this will be my first fav for my new fav's list.

Cool and take care,
michael

Hi Ruud

A creative re-interpretation of Vincent van Gogh's work. I like the abstraction & reflections in the canal. Well done!

I also want a set of that Vincent van Gogh glasses that you have! Please!

Great Scot, mate, what a masterpiece. At first I thought that you merely inversed the colours, but when I inversed them on my PC, I got a bleek image that throws me even more off-track as to how and what you did here.

This is a masterpiece! Please share your technique with us, if you would.

This image has great artistic value and the colours create a striking effect with high impact. The "water" effect is also very well done. On a scale of 1-10, ... 11.

Ruud,
Yes, This IS beautiful!
This would look good on anyone's wall!
I'd consider printing this one out!
I usually don't like borders or artist names on pictures like these, but it fits well with this painting-like work.
Fine work and I'd be proud of this one!

Hi! Ruud,

A well thought out piece with excelent PP. Your choice of textured mat is so perfect for this presentation. My only change would be to isolate the water reflections using layers and darken/blur them slightly. Brilliantly pre-visualized and well done.
A dutch master@work.
Mike.

Un effet très bien réussi!

Hello Rudd. Excellent P.P. work, creative and pleasing to see. Are you sure inspiration came from the Van Gough glasses and not a visit to the "cafe" in the image? :~) Thanks for sharing!!!!
