Very nice. My only critique would be to soften your colors and edges a bit. That would add to the mood. (I'm an Artist w/ BA in Art teaching)

Very nice. It feels like a happy picture - one that you would like to look at when you are a bit down. I love painting out of doors, but I hate people watching me!

Very nice. Bring creative is a wonderful thing. And what a beautiful scene waiting for you to paint it. It must have been very relaxing

?

Thanks to all the responses. I am impressed. great group of folks here.

Any attempt or time spent on a personal artistic form of expression is a masterpiece to whom created it. If you feel relaxed and encouraged to pursue future such expressions, go forth and create. It's sure much better than I could have done.

It's lovely. Next week I'm planning to try painting with some modified brushes along with a bob Ross video. I haven't been able to do art since my accident, and I'd like to see if I can when using modified brushes

Just right.

You need a just right button. I dig tropical themes. It's lovely.

No it's not to busy. When you mix your paint are you adding the complimentary color to and are you using white to gray off. Using the complimentary and adding more white in the distance/horizon and progressively less as you move toward the foreground will help the painting look more mature. It's difficult to understand where your focal point is, perhaps the white boat. Your well on your way, there is a lot of good stuff in the painting, do you only want to paint for fun or do you want to improve to the point where you are able to sell paintings to fund a hobby or do you want to become a serious selling artist. In any case if you want to improve you will need to learn to draw as well as you can, if you can't draw a scene well, you will struggle to paint it well, having to deal with the brush and color.

That's pretty cool.

Funny I thought the easel was a framing like rustic stucco window looking out at the scene. I need to get glaases...I do like it though..

It is beautiful. Didn't vote...no option were accurate for me. I would have it on my wall

I love it.

The anatomy of the palm tree is incorrect
definitely crop out the easel....it makes the rest too hard to focus on
you did it plein air style? it's good for a plein air painting as opposed to a studio piece

Well, I would definitely call you artistic. You have talent!

you should give us more options in the poll, my friend. This is really good work. I can't say if it's too, or not, busy enough, without knowing the original referenced area.

So, what did the 'still life' of that moment reflect? Do you need to add more?

You know already - but I'd be happy to take a look...

I think it's good, not too busy, and just enough going on. But I always like clouds.

Actually I think its just right, but you didn't give that option to vote on.
