I like the wall and its place in the comp.
I too have a hunch the edges could be softened, I love the foreground rock and its positioning - gives a super composition, Gail
love your colours Gail, very good painting!
Good observation about the edges Charles, and I agree. In this painting, for some reason, the hard edges did not bother me ... and everyone knows how I harp on edges. Since everything has hard edges, it becomes a dominant compositional element which is nicely relieved by the softness of the water. Maybe harmony and unity were served? As you stated ..maybe this was the plan? Charles, a comparison would be if Thomas Wezwick put one ultra realist tree in his comp., how unity and harmony would be challenged. Maybe this will draw up a discussion ... pun intended.
Very nice. Like you approach to the scene, the angularity in the sail and presentation of the rocks. One observation - the left edges of the sail against the building and the rocks against the water are very hard and crisp. These cause the sail and the rocks to separate from the scene as a whole and creates competing viewing subjects. My eye either follows the rocks up to the sail and off the canvas or down the sail to the rocks and off the canvas. I have to work at coming into the scene for the other details which are well done. But that may be what you intended?
Nice work with strong colours Gail.
