Since you asked for critique, I'd not mind giving you some! Not that I think this needs it ha.

First impressions are that it looks like a very professional piece of work - this is the type of work you expect to see come out of a Pixar development team! It really reminds me of the Pixar Up Colour Script, because you've used your colours here very well, despite there being a wide range of hues.

The shapes are fantastic, and they all have a sense of pattern throught the piece - the curves in the tree, the leaves, the ground and the lady's hair all finish the piece off really nicely and give each element a sense of belonging in the picture.

The colours are my favourite thing about this piece - the complimentary oranges and purpley blues are beautiful, and despite being almost opposites on the wheel, they're all really warm tones which sit with eachother nicely.

I also really love the brush strokes used on the hill, they work well with the overall pattern textures in the piece!

The tree's design is really lovely, and I can be sure that I'll be taking inspiration from this piece in the future!

The composition is really nice as well, and the slight hint of motion in her hair gives it a little sense of being more alive than a still image.

Perhaps my only crit is - because I cant tell which way the lady is facing (I see her facing away from us) her left arm seems short, if it were meant to be perspective the line should change slightly to represent distance. However changing perspective to see her facing towards us, the arm seems to fit. So I guess that's up to interpretation!

Very lovely piece I would probably buy a print of c:
