I really liked the idea of ​​depicting such a beautiful scene using natural elements. In my opinion, the most interesting aspect of this work is the three-dimensional form of the picture with dry leaves, branches, and small stones. It creates a different depth than a normal painting. In particular, the idea of ​​giving light pencil shading under the leaves of the tree was great, due to which the picture does not float and fits well with the ground. This effort to capture the entire cottage and the afternoon atmosphere in a small wooden frame is truly remarkable. Small techniques like using clothespins for framing show your experience and skill in your work. I completely agree with what you wrote about getting rid of all worries and finding mental peace through art. Creative work always gives a kind of joy to the mind. Best wishes to you in this contest. 😊
