This is really good painting, your knowledge of color and balance work wonderfully in this painting. I can see the visual story that is being told simply by the llama looking over the cliff, and because of the bright colors, I can only assume this to be a childrens story. What I also like about this, is the somewhat blurry details of the mountains as it becomes sharper around the character, which really leads the eye towards it. Even though because I want to follow his gaze into what ever is below, I think the contrast of colors brings my eyes back up to him/her. I also do like the openness of the painting as a whole, because it is really inviting to the viewer, especially for a childrens story book. The only criticism I can say about this is, it does require some explanation for a story, which will have to rely on the text to complete the idea of what's going on, what I mean is, if this was simply by it's self, I'm far too open to my own interpretations to why he/she is there. But that might be nit picking, because you don't want to take away from the written words. Hope that makes sense
