Love how you portrayed the tree and love the orang/purple combination, too.  Light coming from the left, instead of the right is a nice change.

Guys, Merry Christmas! I appreciate all the comments and advice you gave me!

Joe, the rocks on the left side look okay, but I am not satisfied with the middle and the left side of the picture.  They need more work.

Paolo, I like to put the complementary colors such as orange and violet or red and green, etc. together, but I don't have enough practice with this to reach harmony in the whole painting yet.

I love the brushstrokes in the rocks. Very good form

NICE...I love the sweep and movement of the foreground into the tree/ocean focal point...the eye moves thru the painting nicely.

The contrast between cool and warms works really well, I definitely love your colours Svitlana.

Richard, thank you for comment! For me the photo reference is not easy for painting. Thank you very much for advice!

Nice cools and warms Svitlana and I like your brushwork. Your drawing could do with some practice (but so could mine). Beware of letting objects kiss, like the right-most tree foliage being hidden in the shape of the background hill and that same hill kissing the top of the green hill and the tree kissing the top of the canvas.
