11x14 oil on canvas. I am learning to paint water form. It is so hard to paint well for me. Appreciate any suggestion.

I like the warm tree area. You have a nice variety of color in the water but it is a little confusing, try to simplify the elements especially the far water should be simpler and a value lighter. The way that you have painted the light and shadow falling across the water is effective and adds to the warmth.

Hey Laura, I missed this one! .....repeating some of the others comments:  great energy, lots of warm glow, and good comp.   Laura, when faced with a large,  nondescript shape ..like the cliff in the  background, find a way to lesson its stark impact ....change the shape, throw a large tree in front, a cloud shadow maybe, or leave it out completely and just have a distant forest covered hill with hints of a cliff. .....
