Comment by Maria Woolrich on November 20, 2013 at 9:00: Thank you Carolyn and Jessica for your helpful comments.I see what you mean Jessica, I'll play round with that today.I'm grateful for any comments that will help me see where I can prove. This will make me more aware next time I paint rocks. I'm glad I decided to do this in oils and not acrylics. Although I have to remember to wipe my brush down often as I have been known to end up with a muddy mess. Think I was lucky with this painting.

Comment by Carolyn Brunsdon on November 20, 2013 at 4:13: As Jessica noted, very nice softness to your work Maria. Also, nice clear color and with complements that is quite a feat in itself! As we know, the most difficult lessons provide the best experience, yes?

Comment by Jessica Futerman on November 19, 2013 at 18:39: Really lovely, Maria - lovely colour & a pleasing softness in your painting! The rocks on the beach are so well done! I just see one tiny thing you might want to change? On the big rock in the wave, there is a curved line on the front section of rock - maybe you could break that line into straighter sections, more like your foreground rocks? Beautiful painting!
