This is the "after" piece. I've lightened the mountains and the large tree/made more sense of the trees and foreground grasses/enhanced the "pond." What do you think?Now that I think I understand the elements of the image, I think I'm ready to do it larger than it's modest 8"x10" size.
I have donated this painting to an ALS Fundraiser that will be held in Denver this Saturday night.

good luck on getting a dialogue going! After trying since last August, I have come to realize that most people will not leave a comment, but will email you or tell you in person what they think. If it weren't for my son and sister, I would have very few comments on my blog. but as to what do I think about your "after." I think overall it is a stronger painting. I did like the foreground grasses in the original piece as they had more movement than the remake. But I am glad you got rid of the dark green mass that was in the lower right hand corner. It did not have a good shape quality to it and was indistinguishable. The mountains are much improved and I like the trees much better, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do a larger work from this study, since the composition is good and there is a lot of detail to include in a larger work. Cheers!
