Reykjavík (úthlíð) 2_l

My second attempt at this painting. I added some interest on the left side especially. I havn´t fully finished the right side. Any suggestions are most appreciated :)

Comment by Carolyn Schena on February 25, 2013 at 5:00: haunting is the word that comes to mind when seeing this painting, it leaves an indeliable (sp.) impression. well done

Comment by Þorgrímur Andri Einarsson on February 23, 2013 at 10:37: thank you Montavlo. Both of your suggestions are good. I like the idea of something leaning against the house. I have a hard time painting something thats not there though. But I will give it a thought. I am trying to think of the composition as a whole and how to better it.

Ann thank you for your comment. The painting is actually a little more colorful than the photo of it. but it is still quite muted as you say. I could very well do with some more saturated highlights. It would definetly give the painting more interest if I find a good way to do it :)

Comment by Montalvo on February 23, 2013 at 10:25: I like it the way it is. You do good works. Im going to have to challenge myself and do a structure of some kind.

Comment by Montalvo on February 23, 2013 at 9:08: how about a red bike leaning on the front of the tree...or a red ballon??? flying towards the sky?? Or did you want suggestion with what's already there.

Comment by Ann Turner on February 22, 2013 at 17:51: You are very talented with your limited color choice, I would like to see this scene with warm and cool colors as accents to your dreamy muted style. Just a thought from gal that loves yummy color. Try this months workshop. I would like to see what you come up with.
