This one is 20" X 24" acrylic on canvas. I would really appreciate any and all feedback on this one.

| Thankyou Retha, I reposted the pic. The first time I tried to upload this size it said it exceeded the 100kbps size allowed but it seems to have worked this time. |

| Dear Sue.........The painting looks good, but if I might suggest an idea. I think I would soften the edges quite a bit on the clouds. Also, look where you have the light shining on the clouds. It looks like you have the light coming from all sides. Wouldn't the light be coming from either the left or the right? Maybe I'm wrong, but that hit me right away when I first looked at the painting. Also, I would soften the edges on the top of the pile of rocks. That would make them look less pasted on, I think, and seem to recede at the back of the pile. Maybe I'm not stating this clearly, though. I love the colors you used in the grasses in the foreground. Again, I think I would add a few stray stems in the grass that is right up against the rock pile. I don't think the grass in the wild would grow in such a straight, well-clipped manner against those rocks. I think you handled the grass in the front beautifully. Just a few ideas, and who knows, they may be all wrong. It's just my opinion. ...........Gene |

If you post again, use an web image optimizer a lot of programs have them included, it compresses your oicture and set the advanced setting compression at 40 that is how I do it.
I agree with Gene, now that it's bigger I can see more, she has a few good points there, also I would balance the colour of the sky in the rest by for instance putting some bluegrays in the rocks and blues between the grass in the dark spots.
just a suggestion....

Dear Sue:
I love the foreground and the clouds. They look lovely and dreamy. It's the rocks that, to me, spoiled the dreamy effect. I think maybe the rocks come on too strong. I would vary the values of the rocks a little bit. Since the skies are darker on the left side, The rocks on the left could be a bit darker too and lighten those on right side might help. In another word, the lights are coming from 2:00 O'Clock angle. Anyhow I might be wrong but that's what I would do if it's my painting. -Sandi |

| Thanks Sandi, Retha and Gene. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. The light was supposed to show as coming from behind the clouds. Maybe if I can change the rocks, it will read better. |

Dear Sue:
One word of encouragement: keep your dreamy, mystical quality painting. You have found your style. I looked at all your posted pics., they all have this quality. Some days you will be famously known like another Thomas Kincade!
I still have to find my own style while fumbling and folding. Someday ii's a hit and anather a miss but I will keep trying.
Good luck!
