Strong Points:
Pretty good job. In general you have a nice composition. The boats are pointing inwards. This is very important to help the viewer's eye enter and stay in the picture. It was wise to put some touches of reddish orange in the shrubs. This offers some relief to the otherwise too predominant greens. It was well thought out. The road doesn't end in the dead center and has a nice "S" movement. |

| My
modifications:
I gave the foliage in the background more interesting shapes. More punch was given to the flowers that would be in the center of interest. I chose to provide 2 different modified images for this piece, each with a different focal point. In option 1, I sent the trees back by changing their value and cooling the greens. It is interesting how nice a painting looks when you emphasize only one area. I personally liked option 2 more than option 1. What do you think?
Additional comments: Good job! Boy I would love to have been there with you to paint this one. No wonder why you couldn't resist! |
