Thank you Olivia for your encouragement.  I love your paintings too.  All of them.  They are very impressive.

Thank you Stuart.  I went to your blog.  I like all your gadgets!  I haven't done any plein air painting for a long time.  I am not brave enough to go out there by myself to paint.  I wish I had a painting buddy to do those things together, like the old days, but .... Anyways,  nice painting.

Here is the revised version of my First painting in June, thanks to Dorian and Steinunn's suggestions.  I have lighten the sky, lowered the value of the trees, get rid of the front tree and some of the background trees.  I think now it is less cluttered.  It took about 2 hours.
