Both are very good, I prefer the second one. Compositionally, it's much more dynamic and interesting. My only suggestion (and it's minor) would be to increase the height of the small tree on the left a bit, it will add more variation to the overall composition.

Which one is better? Hard question. I like the color and detail in the first one. If I'm not mistaken, you don't normally use such bright colors for sky and grass. It's a nice bold change. The building looks great. I agree with Materese.....the composition of the 2nd painting has a more interesting view. It IS the same building right? Just a front and back view? The tree in the foreground of the first painting seems a little off to me......if your eye is traveling from bottom to top, the tree looks like it narrows and then the branches get really thick again. I can't pick. I like them both! Jess

I like them both. They each have elements that make them unique. Both are well done. Jim www.paintingsbyjim.com

Very nice, Egon. I would hang them both, also. They are both very nice. I do like the nice bright blue in the top one, but also like the more subdued colors in the bottom. I can never pick favorites. That's kind of like choosing a favorite friend. You like one for certain qualities, and another for others. Happy Springtime. We are in the midst of a huge thunderstorm here in the mid-western U.S.A. Soon we'll all be getting those nice bright colors around here as well. Can't wait to get out to do some plein-air painting!. Gene

I like both of these paintings and to choose the best is difficult. But if you were going to give one of them to me, I suppose I would choose the second one. Good luck on your exhibit!

Hi Great work. Its a hard choice, but I would go for the second one. I liked the focus on the cabin here. In the first one, its being shared across the tree in the front. But nice clean work. Would like to try plein air painting myself. Sandeep

Great looking paintings. The first is more sunny and cheerful, the mood of the second is somewhat subdued. I like them both.
