So many things happened within that 1/3 part of your painting. Beautiful and peaceful, realistic. Comment comes late, Timothy's comment guide me to this painting.

Comment by Lyndon Baxter on January 30, 2012 at 19:02: Timothy, thank you for your kind words, I appreciate them!

Comment by Timothy Luk on January 30, 2012 at 18:43: The end result is great! I really like your use of natural colour tones. It is easy on the eye and comforting to look at.

Comment by Lyndon Baxter on November 20, 2011 at 14:52: Thank you for your comments Li, I agree with what you said, particularly about the background and I suppose it also applies to the LH foreground, looking at it now.

Isn't amazing how things look different when you leave them along for a while (overnight).

Thanks again Li.

Comment by Ningning Li on November 20, 2011 at 3:32: Oh, I forgote one thing. That piece of ocher land at the background is a little bit too high croma compare with the montain behand it and the left part of foreground. I would grey it down a bit.

Comment by Ningning Li on November 20, 2011 at 3:23: To my eyes, this painting is much better than you evaluated. the snow toped mountain, the river, and the pine tree at the foreground are very very nice. The whole piece has a high level harmony in terms of color, make me feel of peace. The acrylics medium you applied also make the painting more realistic for this type of them. Nice one! I have problem of contrast of value as I am affried of overdoing. I think this piece also can be strenthen the contrast between the background snow mountain and midground dark hills. And also if I were you I would make the right cornner of sky lighter. I will go back now to my painting to put more light at the same place as I want the light to extend farth. Please do not change your work before you talk to somebody who knows better. This is a good one. Some times changing can creat problems.
