Hi
I've been working on this pic for some time trying to get it right . I'll rely on your expert advice ,wether to do something more or hide it in the attic... I can't seem to find inspiration for something new right yet after being away from painting for 5 months.... Well here it is
Thanks for looking

Hi Deedee

hope you're well

I personally think it's a really good landscape, I like the background
and the way you painted the river and the sky. Nice color palette
as always. One thing I'm not sure about is the tree on the foreground,
it doesn't seem a nice subject to focus on, if you now what I mean.
I'd try to do the same as some photographers do with some pictures they
take, they focus on something really nice and the other things on the
photo look like "blured". What do you think? There are so many things this
painting can tell which you can focus on and make them more detailed.
Hope you don't mind my suggestion

Look forward to seeing the update and hopefully some new
work when you have a time to make one

Hi,Deco
I took your advice and did a change -about on this painting . i took some things out, including the TREE and added some rocks enlarged the mountains and changed the water... It looks completely different ,now. The photo is a bit blurry.
I wonder what happened to all the other members??? Pretty quite in here lately.

Hi Deedee

hope you're well
I must say the painting really looks completely different,
I think you've done excellent work and all the alterations are
on the right places, looks great

About the other members ... well what can I say ... I really do not know
what's the reason to not see many new posts although I see some members
visit the forum regularly. We just manage the forum and I think we've done
our best to make it a nice place for artists but we can not force
anybody to post. Hopefully we'll see some movement in the next months.

Thanks for sharing your work

Hi Deedee - Well to be honest I liked the other one, the composition and the colours etc were lovely, but the tree as Deco said didn't really do it - although saying that I thought the work on the 'bark' on the longest trunk looked good - possibly another style of tree might have worked?

Yeah Deco and I was saying the same about the other members - it is a shame really after all the hardwork that Deco puts in to try to keep it going!!
