Comment by Rachel Peskin on February 13, 2016 at 6:37: Hi SIlvana,

I really love the texture and the individuality of the mountain forms in your painting.

Comment by Silvana M Albano on August 15, 2015 at 14:27: Thanks Susan for your suggestion, and Ann for such an encouraging comment!!! :)

Comment by Ann Turner on August 11, 2015 at 15:24: I like the way you used greys with a pop pf orange on the cottage. The area of shape and color for the rocks is great also. Its a keeper

Comment by Susan Burke on August 11, 2015 at 9:50: Silvana, this is wonderful! Perhaps some strategically placed clouds to lead the eye back into the painting?

Comment by Charles Post on August 10, 2015 at 21:31: I mention to say compare the angle OF THE ROOF LINE on the left side of the main building.

Comment by Charles Post on August 10, 2015 at 21:19: I looked up your reference. Imagine the hike up to Cerro Catedral would be magnificent. You captured the image and it is difficult because the surrounding rock are so consistently the same. Compare the angle of the left side of the main building to the photo as something appears off but it could just be the like brown line you mentioned. IF you made any change, you might consider lightening patches of the snow and the front of the main building by a couple of values to reflect the sunlight. And, maybe a few highlights on rocks leading up to the building from bottom center to the door, again to show us the sunlight reflecting off the rock and guide us to the door. Well done.
