I'd like your opinions on this one. Is it clear what the focal point is
(the golden reeds)? Does anything compete with it? Do you
see anything else you'd change? I'm going to add a little grass in the
sand and probably tone down the grass on the right (I think it's too
kelly green and needs to show more of the flat dead grass below it).
Thanks.
Michele

In addition to what you have planned I'd add some shadows on the path but I like it and it will be interesting to see what you do with this.. Nice start! Did you go on vacation and paint all these new ones? I envy your time to paint... Christine |

Hi Christine,
No, no vacation. These are paintings for entering into a juried show, so to speak. Our local chamber of commerce renovated and when they re-open up they want to display local artist's work. I took pictures of two of our local parks for these paintings. I usually don't paint this much, just trying to meet a deadline (what a great motivator). Wish me luck in getting in!

Hi Michelle... I like the feel to this painting.. I'm not sure that the golden reeds standout as the focal point though as the deep green in the foreground is very dominating. If the reeds in the background were a little more out of focus it may give more impact to the middle ground.. I'm not a landscape artist so don't take to much heed of what I say  |

Maybe if you add a tutch of red in the sky,near the horison...youl get more space,depth in your painting.
And it will drag the wever to your focal point.
I like this work of yours.
