Hi Charles, thank you very much for your great comment and suggestions! You have made very good point here. color harmony,  unify the painting. I will review the painting and working on the enhancement. Thank you again!

Similar comment to those in your other painting.  In this one, I love your mountains and sky...excellent.  The sky is convincing and dramatic...maybe add some yellow.  Then, the foreground.  For the grass in front, the darker values of the mountains and sky with touches of yellow would unify the background and foreground.  The reds in the grass overpower the balance of the scene.  If you cover the foreground (bottom 1/3) from the river down below the mountains, so you see only the water, mountains and sky, then do the opposite, covering the sky and mountains so you see the foreground, it is like two separate paintings and not one unified painting.  The upper 2/3 works for me.  The fix needs to be in the lower 1/3.  Good back to the mountain pallet and work from there with more toned down warms (with white and opposite colors) such as violet, orange and pinks might work.  Then carry those colors into the water.
